I still have 20 GB there so i don't know what's the problem. help.

Hi

Wat OS do u use?

If it is Win NT or 2000 or XP u should check the owner of the file and the access rights of the file, Right click on the file/folder and select 'Properties' now get into the security tab there u can see the permissions u hav for tat file, u should have 'Full control' Inorder to do anything u want, it is so if u hav created those files but if ur not sure abt d owner jus click the 'Advanced' Button and select Owner tab it shows the owner of the file if it is some one ask them to grant all permision tats it

it should work!

If not pl contact ur n/w admin

Ha-p Computing :)

if you can't modify something, just save it under a different filename. :)
