Hi! So...I just created an encrypted disk image (8GB) and moved a large number (7.6GB) of files into it. However, once I put them in the disk image, they were still showing up in my home folder. I sent them to the trash and emptied it. My HD didn't regain the space those files were taking up, so now it's as if the files are on my HD twice. Does anyone know how I can regain this space? Thanks!

Rob
