Answer 1

When you empty the recycling bin, that space is freed up on your hard drive. If you still have only 40% of your hard disk space left (That IS what you meant by "memory" isn't it?) then you probably need to empty your internet cache. (Internet Explorer, Tools, Delete Browsing History, Temporary Internet Files, Delete).

Answer 2

Most items are removed from the record in Windows after deleting it from the Recycle Bin. It is no longer reported in memory. Some utilities can recover it, but it will eventually be overwritten by new items.

We need to take a deeper look. Make sure you have no large items that you uninstalled still sitting in your Program Files folder. Also, you might need to turn down the amount of space that System Restore uses. Go to Control Panel, then click on system. Find system restore and turn it down. 5% is usually sufficient enough.

Oh, and don't forget to delete your temporary internet files!

Answer 3

You are talking about two different things...one is your memory & the other is files...
1. After you empty your recycle bin the file go to an area of the harddrive that is frequently overwritten. (temp area) So it's not really gone until it's overwritten by something else.
2. Your memory load is caused by processes using your memory...this can be any number of background processes necessary for Windows to run, startup applications, and programs you have running OK.
If you want more memory, then increase the amount of ram you have & increase your "Virtual" memory size also known as Pagefile or file swap on your harddrive.

Answer 4

When you delete programs all you do is tell the computer "This is space is available to use"
when it says you have 40% of memory (I don't know if that is free or used) its telling you all the free memory you have (Everything is erased) So you nothing else you can do expect delete more.

Answer 5

You can right click on the trash can to "empty recycle bin". This will remove it from your hard disk.

(Before you empty it, the files wind up in a hidden folder called called "RECYCLER" on each disk you have. To view the contents, you can also right click on the trash can and click on "explore" or "open".)

Answer 6

Run the 'disk cleanup' utility. that will help.
