Hard Disk Space??

donal_85208 · 12-08-2005, 06:44 PM

I keep losing space on my hdd and can't quite understand why. If I delete or remove a file or program it seems that not only do I not gain space on my hdd but I am actually losing it. I only have 18gb's left and it is depleting quickly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Run a few updated scans to make sure you don't have any viruses on your system.

The following programs can remove a lot of junk/unneeded files from your system.

Thank you for your assistance, it really helped. Didn't realize how much was not being taken out of my computer when it was deleted.

If you're running Norton software, have you checked the Norton Protected Recycle Bin?
