Title: disc space
Post by: Chuck racer on December 23, 2014, 05:23:54 PM

My computer skills are just average. I got this huge problem, I don't know how to fix it.
 First of all I deleted all restore points just yesterday and created a new one. Iam sure restore wont solve anything.
 I had downloaded a backup program. This program used about 3/4 of my disc space. I freaked out when I seen this. I uninstalled this program. But it still shows about 3/4 disc usage of 320 gig disc. Before that program, I had real close to a full free disc. This computer is 8 months old, windows 8.1
 Thanks Chuck

 Take in consideration my lack of computer skills.
 Any good ideas?

The program is the problem. Can you name it so we can warn others from using it? Do a fresh re-install of the OS is the solution.

Also uninstalling the program is not neccessarily going to remove any backups created...as said...what app is this ? ?
