You may have a virus that is creating dummy files. Have you run a virus scan recently?
yea everyweek automatically, im using symantec endpoint protection??

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
^ yea thats what i just did. i can do shit up to a certain point, hopefully they will have this beast up and running by tomo

no my keyboard was fucked it was typeing backwards and shit
what do you guys think of adblockplus and no script for firefox??
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:
^read up a little further were i said its fixed before you post and i need to convince you why? lol

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?
