Dear all,

I am using Nero 8 version 8.2.8.0 and I have a problem when I burn my folders/files to a DVD Re-writable Disk.

For example, I open Nero Start Smart and I select form menu: Rip and Burn,
then I select: Burn Data Disk,
then I select: Data DVD
and then I choose the folder or files that I would like to burn.

Let say I have chosen four files of 1 Giga Bytes each folder. I proceeded and I burned the disk succesfully. I can see the Total Space Used is 4 Giga Bytes and also agreed that with the green space bar.

Up to now , all is ok.

Now, I would like to erase / delete three of the said folders, means 4GB Total space used less 3GB = 1 GB Total space used.

Then, I followed exactly the previous example, step by step by using Nero Start Smart.

Instead of choosing the folders/files that I would like to burn, I selected three of the four folders which I wanted to be deleted. Those folders were deleted and they have been removed from the left bar. Then I went to next and then burn. Nero started burning the disk. After all these, I followed the previous method in order to write again some files to the same DVD Re-writable Disk.

I noted that the Green Bar was showing almost full (remember that at the beginning I have written four folders with 4GB space used. I was wonder why because when I run Nero Start Smart I correctly see from the left bar, only ONE FOLDER which means 1GB of the Total space used but at the same time the green space bar almost is full and the Total space used is shown 4GB instead of 1GB.

I have done a refresh but the problem persists. I also made a double check and I explored the disc from the D: drive and then I selected the folder's content and I have seen from the folder properties that the size is 1,00 GB.

Please help!
