NTFS, Insufficient space, and ScenAlyzer

Help please!

I formatted 50Gigs of my 80Gig drive using NTFS. Then using the Canopus ADVC and ScenAlyzer I recorded a 2 hour movie onto my drive. This used up about 22Gigs. With little stuff on this part of the drive, it adds up to about 24 Gigs used.

I have since been playing around with converting to MPEG-2s and trying to joing the AVI files since when I used Scenealyzer, it broke the movie up into 2 Gig files. I used TMPGen to convert the files into MPEG-2s. I have since moved the MPEG's to another drive.

This morning I used Virtual Dub to join two of the 2 Gig files together. Because I didn't compress them, it made a 26 Gig file which filled up this drive. Yikes! I thought I was just going to get a 4 Gig file. Whoops.
So I deleted the 26 Gig file by highlighting and hitting the delete button. Now my drive is full (and Yes, the recycle bin is empty). On right clicking the drive, it shows it has 48Gigs used and only 528 MB avail. It acts as though it is mirroring the drive or something.

So two questions;
1) How do I keep Scenealyzer from breaking the file up. I use unlimited in the drop down list. I seem to remember another place I need to check for this but can't seem to find it now.

2) How do I get the "hidden" file (not there, I checked the hidden files) off this drive. Most pressing at this point.

Thanks for any help
Dazed again.

Found my problem! Norton System #*$#!#Works put the file in a "protected" recycle bin. I only loaded this program because I paid for another year of virus protection and it is tied into this program. Ya can't just load the Virus Protection part.

To delete this I had to right click on my recycle bin and find the part that was protected then delete that.

Now to defrag the drive and onward to more video stuff...

I only posted this in case anyone else has the same problem. Than again maybe you 'all are brighter than me. :P
