DO NOT RUN CHKDSK !!! running on a full drive can corrupt your data. More information please. OS, make and model of drive. If this is Vista it sounds like shadow copy or system restore points. It could also be space used temporarily by AVG antivir. If your drive is more than about 60 GB then it is WAY to full, you should keep 20% or better free to allow for utilities like AVG, defrag etc to run.
