Title: Hard drive too low on space?
Post by: WillNeedsHelpFast on October 23, 2010, 02:12:34 AM

So, I think my computer is missing space. I have a hdd of 106 GB. I currently have: 9.27 GB.

Im not quite sure how it got this low, yes I have a few games but nothing much.

Between my desktop, my documents, and various other smaller locations, I dont have enough stuff there to take up so much space.

I've run a disk defrag and I've tried running a disk cleanup. However my computer always restarts during the cleanup.

I need some of my space back but I cant find it.

Any suggestions?

Edit: I was reccommended to try CCleaner.

Going from about 9 Gigs to 50 is great improvement.

Remove old restore points.
Delete internet cash.
Remove page file, reboot and restore it.
Check your downloads folder and temp folders as they can hold tons.
Run a checkdisk to see if your file system or directory is screwed up.

Delete internet cash.

Just to avoid any confusion.

Its 'cache' not 'cash'
