probably a real simple answer for this...
ive stored files on a dvd-rw 4.7gb disc. im told the gb memory converts really to i think 4.37 and not 4.7. when i deleted files off the disc one time the memory went to 3.37gb! and there were no files visible. so i was left with only 3.37 available. How do i properly delete whatever is hiding on the disc to get the original 4.7(4.37) back?thanks...

Hi,

Well for my DVD-RW the size of the disc is about 4.5gb..

Some things you can try..
1) open up windows explorer,  
go to the toolbar, tools ->view -> choose show hidden files and folders
now go to your dvd folder and check whether there are any hidden files..

2) Try using nero burning rom to do a erase of the disc
