Hah, that kinda makes sense. The program probably crashed before it could clean up the .wav file it creates in a temporary directory.

If you clean your computer's temp directory, that should free up your space again. You can do it manually using Google and the aid of a disk-usage tool like WinDirStat to find which temp folder to delete, or you could try one of the many automated tools that clean the temp directory for you.

Be warned that when opening large files in BW, you need at least the same amount of free space on your HD, because when BW opens a file it immediately converts it into a WAV file that it temporarily stores in your temp directory. That WAV file is going to be almost the exact same size as the file you opened, and your computer needs the space to store that.
