Have been deleting a lot of files appearing on Amps lately, hi. Anyway,
today I get a window from Outlook Express advising I have a lot of
"wasted"space in email files, would I like to Compact them now.
So I clicked yes. I rather assumed that when something was deleted
it was gone from the hard drive. Evidently not. Also learned that when
you click on the main File/Folder you also have the option to "Compact"
all files of the program, even the ones you are saving?
What is going on? Is every email I have ever sent or rcv'd somewhere
on my drive in compacted form, but never actually erased and eliminated?
If so, how can I get rid of this unwanted stuff? And what does
"compacting"
mean in Microsoft lingo?
73, Jim, KH7M
