Did you free up space after deleting a file?

Question

Windows

There was an 80GB archive on the disk. I deleted it immediately without moving it to the trash. The file is gone but no space has been freed up. Not in cart either. Did a disk cleanup. Please explain what to do with it? If possible, please use plain language. Thank you!

Answer 1

On some forum I found a program and scanned the disk. Here is the file. But I can't find it. I turned on the display of hidden files and folders, but I still don’t see it

UPD: it turns out there is a context menu and this file is easily deleted through it)) I solved the problem
