Disappearing Disk Space
I have an XP machine for 6 months now. My main usage folder has 10GB used,
allowing for standard OS and Office software the amount of disk space available os only 9GB from a 60GB HDD. Would like to know where this has gone and how to get it back?

Would like to know where this has gone and how to get it back? Check your system restore properties. The default is 12% of your drive. Depending on how many restore points you would like to keep you could reduce this to 5% or less. Empty your recycle bin. Check your mail and get rid of any mail you don't need and empty the deleted folder. Right click on the start button select search then What size is it? click the specify size button and type in 10000. This will give you a list of files around 10 MB in size sort the list by size. This will let you see the biggest file son your system. If you use hibernation it creates a huge file.

Disappearing Disk Space
One thing that you could to reclaim some space on your hadsisk is to remove
some of the app's that you don't use a lot of and take them off and then you may have some extra room on your hardisk Adam Australia "DL" address@invalid wrote in message ... Youve run Disk Cleanup?
