Have been using DVD Shrink and Decrypter, getting excellent results, and until recently thought that I knew what I was doing. Have a 70 GB HD on my PC, and was shocked to learn that there was only about 4GB free space left. Not possible thought I, until I downloaded a great little piece of free software called "SpaceMonger" from www.werkoma.com that graphically shows you what's on your HD and the space that it takes and lets you delete if needed. Comes to pass I had about 6 ISO movie files left behind in the copying process. I was unable to see them on HD using Explorer--and still do not know where they were and probably never would have w/o SpaceMonger. Deleted them and got about 50% of my HD back. Where do these files go? And isn't here some way to program Shrink and/or Decypter to have these apparrent backups deleted after copying completed?

Do you by any chance have a Norton protected Recycle Bin?

gerry810,
brobear was telling you the files are in the protected bin of Norton. You will have to go into the bin and delete them again. One other thing you might do is to search for .iso files and then computer should find them

I had that same problem, then I configured it to bypass the recycle bin altogether. I don't remember if I did that in Norton or it was a Windows setting.

gerry, its not rocket science

i assume most people do it how i do.

1: setup a directory for shrink outputs (e.g. g:\dvdrips)
2: always get shrink to output to g:\dvdrips\themovie_name
3: i just keep them until i know the backup is sweet or i run outta space
4: to delete i just go into the folder and delete folders that i know the burn has been successful on

also golden rule is that the only norton product worth using is norton ghost (cos they bought that i think) the rest are shite, with norton AV being úber shite.

FYI dvdClone 2 lets you delete temp files tho.

Your opinion about Norton and you'll probably stick to it. However, a large segment of the market, including myself, use Norton programs and utilities with excellent success. I have the Systems Works suite as well as the Internet Security suite. Those two cover most of the Norton line. I've had excellent success over the past few years. I've tried other programs and consistently come back to Norton after they didn't work as well.

As far as the Norton protected Recycle Bin, all one has to do is what they do with a real world trash bin... empty it occasionally. Any time I've deleted a bunch of files, I know Norton is backing them up, so before I turn the PC off or do a lot of work requiring space, I purge the bin and protected files. It's a safety feature in Norton and a good one. It's only a problem for people who are not used to it or unaware the files are being backed up in the Recycle Bin. As was the case here. Anytime one asks the question on where the space went mysteriously, Norton is the first thing that comes to mind.

BTW, the Norton Protected Recycle bin files can be accessed through Norton commands. Double clicking the bin shows protected files, right clicking and selecting open merely opens the bin to show the normal contents. The purge commands are also on the right click, so it's no big deal to empty it (one doesn't even have to open it).
