-- Posted by masomae at 3:31 pm on June 13, 2008 i deleted everything but it says 50.3GB free of 51.8GB how i can make it be empty -- Posted by Chevy Jackson at 3:32 pm on June 13, 2008 i dont think you can ever make it 100% empty. But when you say you deleted everything, do you mean that you actually deleted the files, or did you format the disk? -- Posted by masomae at 3:32 pm on June 13, 2008 Quote: from Chevy Jackson at 3:32 pm on June 13, 2008 i dont think you can ever make it 100% empty.

But when you say you deleted everything, do you mean that you actually deleted the files, or did you format the disk? deleted the files okay, then you need to format the disk. that will get rid of everything on it. to format the disk, go into my computer and right click the disk that you want to format, then just scroll down to "format," and that should take care of it. -- Posted by Petchy at 3:35 pm on June 13, 2008 Formatting it, although you will never completely clear it, it will always have hidden system files that enable the disk to run. -- Posted by Chevy Jackson at 3:38 pm on June 13, 2008 Quote: from masomae at 3:34 pm on June 13, 2008 Quote: from HatesYou at 3:33 pm on June 13, 2008 format it. deleting files wont do.

But you said you already deleted everything else, so I'm assuming that your OS isn't on there. -- Posted by masomae at 3:39 pm on June 13, 2008 guuuuys it said the drive was in use but i clicked format anyway is this bad??
