Lack of free space, new machine.
"Phil" wrote in message ... Can you throw any light on this one for me please? I did a clean up & defrag of XP. (NTFS) I note that on a 80GB drive I only have 28% free space, after a month of use? Where to look to determine the "hog" My W98 machine, after 6 years, still has 70% free space. What could cause this?
