Default Delete Bodies and Compact does not free HD space

A family member's XP sp2 box was getting low on space on it's C drive. It
was down to 1.64 G free and I noticed that he had 1.2 G of train shots in a
rail group. I did a delete bodies and then compacted. The thing took forever
as it copied files to somewhere that I did not take note of as I thought it
would be a backup that would delete afterward.

After a shut down and reboot I expected to see 1.2 + 1.64 for about 2.8Gigs
free, give or take... instead, he now has 1.42G free.

SIGH

A search for .bak on the drive found nothing and no files look particularly
large that I see... so I must not be looking very well.

Where do I look for whatever I need to nuke?
