I keep deleting files over and over, and still no space left on my c: (system) drive..
WTF ?

i just burned and deleted 700mb of stuff..

and in the other day there's only 100mb left, and i haven't downloaded or created a single thing!

i only use firefox, thunderbird and miranda. The caches are all clean, there's nothing can be taking up all that space, ANY ideas ?

Win2k with all updates.

i need to go the linux way again.. but i need to buy a new hdd.. damn..

Right click on "my computer".

Or maybe a memory dump on the windows folder or maybe the pagefile got bigger somehow.

Other than those, i really don't know anything else that could be eating the HD, other than bad clusters of course.


Gives us a kiss precious.

It will add a 'size' tab to the 'properties' window of every folder. There you'll find how much space any subfolder is taking. Sort by size, and pronto, guilty dirs at the top.

when I want to delete a file I want to delete it, not move it in another folder or norton program folder

Or use TreeSize. If you run if from C:\, it'll tell you the size of each folder under C:, so you can dig out which one is hogging it all.

The only problem you may have is accessing the SystemRestore folder. If you do, try re-booting to Safe Mode and changing the Security Privileges. I found out that even though I'd specified a certain size, Windows was about 50% over.
