I was rather astonished to find my c drive almost full when I store my data and most programs on other partitions. I'm now about 24GB lighter Thank you for the very helpful tip.

I just freed 20gbs. Hopefully this was the cause of my computer lagging and the fan keep going on. I thought it might have been because of the heat ( it is summer atm ) But idk. Ill have to wait and see. Wow. I just freed 20gbs. Hopefully this was the cause of my computer lagging and the fan keep going on.

I have done this several times and each time lots of space is freed up but within days it fills back up again. I've been told by the techie at work that theres nothing that can be done...its just the way vista is. Thanks Mick Please help!

I have a new system coming with Windows 7 and am excited to see how this works.

I recommend giving <a href="http://w3.win.tue.nl/nl/onderzoek/onderzoek_informatica/visualization/sequoiaview/" rel="nofollow">SequoiaView</a> a shot to find what's taking up everything. @Fran: It could be a variety of problems, but chances are that system restore isn’t what’s taking up that space (thus, why it’s not doing anything).

When i check the disk space none has been deleted. Do you know why this would be? I have 105 gb but only 8gb left - I have a lot of photos stored but would these take up all this space?!

It had used her entire disk to make copies of itself... Now, what kind of software makes copies of itself and makes your computer unusable? Isn't that called a virus?
