Nov 24, 2009Your hard drive is suddenly full and you are left wondering where did all my free space go? Now you must begin the task of deleting old files and folders to reclaim space but where do you start? In the past I would suggest manually checking the sizes of all of your folders so you know where to begin the hunt but now there is a great utility called WinDirStat that does the work for you. After inspecting a drive you are shown exactly how much data is in each folder, what file types are taking up the most space and even a visual representation of the files on your disk

Jun 29, 2006I currently have 13.0 GB of used space and 5.58 GB of free space. I would like to get more free space.
My computer is about 2 years old. In those two years, I had to re-install Windows XP and everything else on my computer...for reasons unknown...I recently performed a New Installation of Windows XP on my computer. I don't have alot of things installed on my computer. The total space all the programs in my Add and Remove programs file takes up is only 1GB. Since I had to start over and re-install everything and my programs only add up to 1GB, Shouldn't I have more free space ?

Aug 11, 2006A msg. popped up today saying my C: drive was full.I let it clean it up, but still only have just over 600 MB free out of 15 GB. Only 2.16 GB of this is programs as I have my programs installed on another drive. Looking in my Windows folder, I found 16.8 MB of log (text) files. Can these be removed? Can I turn off whatever is creating them?I downloaded Disk Size Manager after reading some other messages on this site. It says my C: drive is 12,815.60 MB which should be 15 GB. Where is the just over 2 GB that are missing? Windows uses 4,887.88 MB. Documents and Settings is 3,090.28.Is this normal?I wish I could move the programs to my D: drive, but I can't find a way. They are only available on my computer restoration disks and it puts them where it wants to instead of letting me decide where I want them. I tried running a free program called Move It!, but it looks like they are moving but they don't.

Feb 11, 2009I'm at my wits end. I was queried by my computer to clean up my hard drive because it was full. ( I wasn't downloading anything).This seemed very odd to me as I always clean up my hardrive regularly.I usually defrag my hardrive every few weeks and the last time I did it I had 29% free space. Now when I check it I have 0% free space and the hard drive has over 20000 fragmented files, I've never seen it look like this.I ran spyware and came back no threats.Something has filled up my hardrive unexplainable.I've tried a lot of things from system restore to chkdsk.

Oct 4, 2009I recently purchased an HP 8530w laptop that came with an xp from Vista downgrade preinstalled. I foolishly let Windows update automatically update the OS using the Express mode. It downloaded and installed SP3 and several .NET framework patches. The laptop also came with HP Credential Manager installed. The problem I'm encountering is that even though I logon under an administrator account I can't delete files under any of the USers under documents and settings, including the administrator acciunts Everytime I try to delete a cookie, or remove some documents (under My Documents) the file management program (Explorer or PowerDesk, I use both) pauses and then shuts down, and creates an error message to send to Microsoft. In short the system will allow the administrator to administrate. Can't uninstall SP3 because it doesn't show up in Add/Remove Programs, and can't delete any of the .NET framework updates even though they are listed.

Jun 15, 2005What would make a C: drive with only Win XP and nothing else on it fill up. It is a 10 GB drive. I installed XP Pro to it and everything else to different drives. The C: drive totally filled up and I couldn't seem to find anything to delete from it to make room. I did all the cleanup steps with no results. I have now reformatted it and am installing XP again, but would like to avoid this problem in the future if I can. Plan to use Fred Langa, of the Langa List, steps to lighten up XP, but not sure that will be enough since I don't know what caused the problem in the first place.

Feb 2, 2009My girlfriend's laptop has had hardly any space on it for a long time. It's 120GB with about 105GB of useable space. After selecting all items (including hidden) in the C drive, and clicking properties, the collective size is 51GB. However, when I click properties on the C drive from 'My Computer' it says Used Space: 101GB. Free Space: 4.36GB. I don't know what happened to the other 54GB.I saw a similar problem on this site, and it was resolved by turning off system restore. I tried this and it only freed and extra 3 or so GB. This is a really frustrating problem and I haven't a clue what to do next.

Jul 1, 2007I have a couple Desktop PC's and a notebook PC. Both run winXP and I have all setup in a workgroup called HOME. From the notebook, I can see the main desktop PC I want to access but whenever I try and open it, expand the tree, I get an error: "xxxx is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. Access is denied."
But I have set the network sharing and security permissions on the c:drive on the desktop PC in question to allow for access and files to be changed by other users on the network. If I've set the permissions, and the computer appears on the list of network computers in the my network places on the notebook PC, why I am being told that I don't have access permission? Its feels like an XP bug or something...I can access my other PC on the network from the notebook PC just fine - add more network places from that PC on the notebook etc. But I cannot do this on the second desktop PC even with full access permissions granted.

Nov 27, 2005I have partitioned my main hdd 200gb into 15gb for boot( C: drive) and 2 other data drives.I am getting messages from some apps that the C: drive is nearly full. Looking at it, I have only 28MB left. I have not installed anything on that drive but it is nearly full.Not sure where the rest of the space has gone because that is basically all that is on that drive. My computer has been booting and running slowly for a few months now or slower than in the past. I figure it is partly due to this disk issue. Is there a tool or way to clean up the disk and make the computer run faster like when I freshly built it? Do I need to reinstall windows and start all over?
