I have a program that when I empty the recycle bin, it also wipes the allocated space to delete the files totally from the hard cleans the hard disk and gives me space. Space that I need. I get a lot of emails that are large. I don't know if deleting them with "yahoo" opens up space. But using this program with items in the recycle bin will. I have Windows 7 on one computer and windows xp on the other. I need to clean up both computers the best I can so there is space for me to install other items that are rather large sized. Please help. Thank you.

Are you talking about files from webmail? If you clear the browser cache, does that not free up some space?
