I seem to recall an app they mentioned in one of the shows that did this but basically my problem is that on my Windows XP machine I am out of hard drive space and i think there is a folder or something eating up the space but i'm not sure.

I've always used JDisk Report (http://www.jgoodies.com/freeware/jdiskreport/)

Probably system restore.

That's awesome.
Installed it and kinda fun to check and makes things easier to manage files.:)

I use Windirstat (http://windirstat******) for a nice visual representation of harddrive usage.


As the other poster mentioned above though, your drivespace is almost certainly being eaten by system restore save points

ok, for some odd reason the forums dont like the ****** domain...

Stop downloading porn?

Never! Plus that all goes on my huge media/file server which is a separate linux computer.

Thanks for all the apps, i'll try them out and see if i can figure out whats up.
