Main Hard Drive Size Won't Change

Earlier today I copied a 19 something gigabyte set of files to anothe
folder on my main "C" drive where Vista is installed. It copied and the
later I noticed that my hard drive size on "C" was no longer changing
It remains the same size I had I believe (31 GB) before making a copy o
the 19 GB set of files to another folder. I tried deleting some othe
stuff as a test and it still didn't change the size of the main drive
My question is how can i get my hard drive to accurately show the righ
size again. I would prefer to keep the files I copied for persona
reasons. What do I do?

Many many thanks to anyone who can help me solve this problem.

And of course happy thanksgiving!!! :

Size of the drive won't change when you move things. The space used
will, but not the size itself.

You need to be more clear about your problem if that doesn't answer
your question.
