c: drive
My computer is slowing down and I believe the problem is
that my c: drive is full. From My Computer, I can see that the c: drive has ~15gb used out of ~16gb of space. I did disk clean up and defrag. Still at ~15gb used. I went and look at each folder in c: drive and added up the total amount of space being used by each folder: total was about 6gb==means that I have about 9gb of space that shows up as being used from the properties of c: drive, but is unaccounted for when summing up the contents of c: drive. What am I missing? Are there 9gb of hidden XP files on my c: drive? Any ideas? |

Right click "my computer"/properties/ system restore. Click on the drive in question. Dave |

Says 2gb of hidden files. Math is now that I have about 6gb of unaccounted for usage of c: drive. Any other thoughts? |
