You may have a virus that is creating dummy files. Have you run a virus scan recently?

Install TreeSize Free and run it.

You'll find out what is taking up your disk space.

Also run CCleaner (http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner). It gets rid of all the garbage files. Disk Cleanup is crap.

if its a work comp.. tell the tech guys to look at it... if you dont have any, call the boss, have him pay a professional to come and take a look.. if your not familiar, dont do anything, if you mess it up, your in deep shit

awesome addons for FF.

i was going to suggest you to delete system restore points as that may save you some pretty file space, but since its a work comp, you might as well just leave it alone and wait for your boss/IT to fix it so you don't get in shit.

Easiest is to reformat and have a brand new running OS.. If not make sure you atleast do a disk defrag so your hard drive doesnt have to work as hard.. Since you removed soo many files already.

hijackthis just provides a log of every running process in your computer. makes it easier to analyze what should be running and what shouldn't.

if its a work computer and you aren't in a small company... call your helpdesk.

anything else and you're just wasting yours and your company's time

i'm still not convinced this isn't just a big :troll:

for anyone who may find this later, I use JDisk Report to show me what is filling up my drives.

slightly off topic but I remember hearing of a program that would list duplicate files and files that hadn't been used in a long time, anyone know what its called?
