Hi
If you were performing a freespace wipe, this is normal because to wipe the
freespace, temporary files are created that overwrite the current free
space. When the free space wipe is completed, these temporary files are
deleted, and your system should have the same amount of freespace as before.
If you cancelled the freespace wipe without letting BCWipe delete the temp
files, then the temp files will still exist and will take up space on your
drive. You should then locate these temporary files, and delete them.
