Sky+ Empty Hard Drive says only 81% Available... Why?

Help please. I've deleted everything from my drive. My planner just shows
a list of programmes to be recorded. I use a 60 minute buffer and have
switched channels a couple of times before checking the Planner to see that
this isn't causing the discrepancy. Any ideas where my 19% has gone?

Presumably this is the space reserved for the 60 min buffer

Clean the HDD by doing a housekeeping function. Services, 0,1 select, then
select full system reset.

Thanks evreyone. Buggy software was the problem rather than my buffer. Did
a force upgrade to latest software and that did the trick.

Cheers all.
