Drives overallocated error?

[pbc]

So just noticed on my BI that I'm getting an overallocated error. I have 3 drives, two are 3GB and 1 is 4GB.

My allocations are:

2200 to one of the 3GB drives
2000 to one of the 3GB drives
3600 to the 4GB drive

The issue seems to be "other files", but there are no other files on the drives outside of BI saved files from the last 10 days or so. I just hard deleted them, then clicked "repair database"....but still get the below?

Make sure you have the recycle set to 0 on those drives and that system restore is turned off on those drives.

Thanks where is “recycle” and system restore in BI?

It is not in BI is in the computer itself.

Right click the Recycle Bin on the desktop and change it to 0 or a lot smaller number.

Then go System Restore and make sure the video drives are not turned on for system restore.

Don't you mean "T"errabyte, not "G"igabyte?

Never checked this setting and changed it to 0 as it was set much higher - default settings I suppose. THANKS!

I think he has made mistakes assigning storage sizes somehow....i think he need to verify how much free space is on drive D E &F.
The grey bar shows Used drive space....
If the drives have higher actual free space,,,,then some folder or something has been duplicated,,,or some other process is allotted that drive space?

Okay. Deleted all files from each of the drives to clean them (i.e., removed stored videos, alerts). Changed restore bin to 0 (well, 1 is the lowest). System restore was not set to on. Will see how this goes.
