Hard Drive Losing Space - Used "Application Mover"

Oct 8, 2005

For some reason my main hard drive on my computer is constantly losing space. I added another hard drive earlier in the year, and have moved alot of programs to that drive using "Application Mover". Not sure if it's a reputable program, but I thought it was doing everything correctly.

I'm not sure what to do, or what is wrong. I've scanned with Norton, Spy Sweeper, AdAware, and Spybot and nothing unusual has shown up.

Keep Losing Hard Drive Space On Every Reboot

Jun 27, 2005

I am using XP Home SP2. Everytime I power on I lose 1gb of hard drive space. For example I have a 60gb harddrive on my laptop and am actually using about 20gb, however, if I power off and reboot and then go to Windows Explorer and go to C drive and check properties it will list my C drive at 21gb in use. f I reboot again and go to Windows Explorer and check C Drive and check properties it will say 22gb in use. I am now at the point that it says I am using 42gb of hard drice (C drive) even tho I am only using 20gb in actuality.

USB Hard Drive - Losing Drive When Copying Data

Aug 3, 2005

I have recently added a 160Gb Maxtor 6 P160PO drive in an external hi-speed USB housing connected via a 4 port USB-2 card. I have tried copying large amounts of data (13-20Gb) but after a few minutes, I get "The drive is not ready" and it disappears from My Computer. If I disconnect it and re-connect it, it will reappear. The same happended with a 20Gb drive I swapped in, so it seems that it's not the drive. I have tried a different port to no avail.

Erosion Of Free Space On Hard Drive Becoming Used Space

Aug 6, 2005

I recently noticed that my free space on hard drive has been eroded and my used space has been increasing. I have not added any software. Much to my dismay I cannot figure out why this would occur. We did make recovery disks and removed our partition some weeks ago. It seems our C drive is using up space without any explanation. Ran many different anti virus and spyware software and they did not detect anything.

Local Disk C Is Dramatically Losing Space

Jun 14, 2006

I have a HDD that I partitioned into C:, and D:. I've noticed recently that C:'s capacity is dramatically going down. It's original capacity is 15GB, and now it's become 930MB. That was not all of a sudden of course, but it's just too much, especially that I do not install new programs in it.I used to open 'Properties > Disk Cleanup', where I would clear all System Restore points except the most recent one. Now Disk Cleanup loading process hangs, and I can't get into its menus. Is there other ways to manage System Restore other than 'Control Panel > System > System Restore'?

Losing My Free Space - Fragmented The C Disk

Aug 8, 2008

I have an old laptop with only 4GB of memory between the two disks. The last time I fragmented the C disk, last week, it had 15% of space or about 700MB. Suddenly the next day it jumped to under 200MB. It did that the month before, as well. I have known for some time I have to get another hard disk, but I am trying to hang in there a little longer. I have taken off everything I can think off and have moved everything to the other drive. When it is so low, I can't even System Restore

Hard Drive Space

Sep 6, 2005

I recently was working with about seven 4gb file and they are now deleted however my hard drive space has went from about 65gb to 2gb. Yet everything is gone, and they wouldn't go in the recycle bin so its no being stored there. I got a tool called SpaceMonger that looks at free space and nothing is taking up that room. In fact what is shows is taking up room doesn't add up to the space being used. Are these file being held somewhere and not deleting. Is there anyway to clear the room again that isn't being taken up

Where Has All My Hard Drive Space Gone?

Jan 8, 2009

I'm running Windows XP home on a modest laptop. Recently, I've noticed a massive reduction in my hard drive space for no apparent reason. Its specd at 40Gb, although in the 'properties' it states 33Gb actual capacity. BUT, If I 'explore' the hard drive, I come up with around 11Gb used. This includes all hidden folders as well (pagefile, hiberfil etc.) as well as the usual Windows, and Docs & Settings etc. I have only used 11Gb, 'properties' tell me I've used 29.2Gb, and only have 3.8Gb left I have used several anti virus scanners, and spyware scanners - but they make no difference to the capacity shown. I only have modest needs for hard drive space, but would really like my 18Gb back 29.2 - 11 = around 18

What Is Using My Hard Drive Space?

Dec 18, 2008

Im running Windows XP and I recently noticed that my "C:" drive has very little hard-drive space remaining--less than 2GBs out of about 38GBs. (My hard drive is partitioned into a C: and a D: drive.) I set about trying to free space on the C: drive. I have uninstalled a number of programs, I cleared my browsers' caches, deleted temporary internet and Windows temp files, used Windows disk cleaner and crap cleaner to remove junk, and reduced the space on the drive available to System Restore. Over the last several days, I
have cumulatively freed up about 6GBs of space; however, each time I take some action, I find that the space gets mysteriously used up and I'm left once more with less than 2GBs of free space. I have run my antivirus software (Avast!) and my spyware programs (Spybot Search & Destroy and Windows Defender). I am also using Zone Alarm free firewall. I don't know what more to do and cannot figure out what is eating up my hard drive space. My drive is in need of defragmentation, but cannot be defragmented because there is not enough space
available

Hard Drive Space - Using Nero 7

Aug 23, 2009

I recently downloaded loads of music video's with a view to burning them onto DVD using my Nero 7 DVD Burning Programes. I had 75% free space on my hard drive at that time. Many of these video's were flv format so I had to download and install a flv to mpg video converter programme. After converting the video's from flv to mpg so that Nero would accept them and making up the music video compilation using Nero 7 I noticed that I had only 4% free space left on my hard drive. So I couldn't get on with the second compilation. Nero told me I needed more hard disc space. I then deleted all the music video's I no longer needed, both the flv versions and the converted mpg versions

Space On Hard Drive Is Showing Less

Apr 26, 2010

I have 80GB hard drive on my computer. I only have 31GB free space. My total size is 74.5GB. So I'm assuming the 5.5 is made up of programs needed to run the computer. I have deleted all my music video and audio files/folders which were taking up even more space. I've tried defragmentation, emptying the recycle bin etc etc. I've uninstalled some rarely used programs. In my Program Files there are 49 Items taking up 34.3GB of space. Surely this is too much, I do have Nero and Roxio which take a lot of space. Looking at 'Control Panel' I see 'Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1', 'Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 2' and also 'Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0 Service Pack 2'. Do I really need 1.1 and 2.0 if I have 3.0

Hard Drive Space Lost

Nov 13, 2007

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I recently replaced a bad motherboard which forced me to wipe my hard drive since it was set up in a raid format. I currently have 2 120GB hard drives which is equivalent of about 198GB total.When I reinstalled Windows I made 1 partition of about 30GB for Windows and other programs only and created the other partition with the rest of the hard drive without really looking at the GBs avail on it. Once Windows was installed I noticed that the 2nd partition only had 120GB giving me 150GB total. I booted from the Windows CD again and did not see any unaccounted space from the hard drive.

Missing Hard Drive Space

Aug 28, 2009

My HP Mini has a 16GB hard drive and I've had it for about 6 months now. When I used CCleaner and WinDirStat yesterday, it only scanned and showed 6 GB of total space, not free space. I don't use very many programs, and I'm trying to find out where all of my memory went:To save hard drive space, I've turned off both hibernation and System restore, moved my My Documents folder to my SD card, and kept my installations to about 1.5 GB.

Whopping Hard Drive Space

Jan 21, 2009

I have 16GB of hard drive with 40% free space.Yesterday I downloaded bit torrent (7MB) in order to hear audio from torrent (67MB).Now this should have not taken up more than 1/2 a percent of my hard drive.As soon as I installed the bit torrent and it downloaded the 3 CDs totaling 67MB, I checked my hard drive space and it took up a whopping 5%.It went from 40% free space to 35%.This can't be.I checked my c drive and add/remove programs to see if there were any hidden uploads, but I didn't see any.I then uninstalled the bit torrent and the 3 cds, and it only gave me back less than one percent.Where did this 5% go and how can I find whats taking up this 5%.I didn't make any changes otherwise.
