[SOLVED] Steadily losing disk space

carsacade · 10-13-2009, 01:11 AM

Okay so I am steadily losing disk space even without downloading and/or installing any new programs or games or videos or photos. I don't know what is going on but could someone please help me out with this. I lost 40 gigs in one day without installing or downloading anything.

What is the OS, sounds like Vista with shadow copy and restore points chewing up space.....

Yes I am using Vista. Is there any way I can get this space back? I mean, is there some way I can delete some of these shadow copies and restore points? Thanks for the response, btw.
