My vista laptops drive c is decreasing in memory HELP!

[tankgirl]

Ok, i have checked EVERYTHING i can,

I have nothing left on my computer hardly to remove!!! i have disk cleaned up, removed programmes, if anything i should have a maximum of 30gb MAX but i dont and whatever it is keeps growing as its taking up more memory gradually, not like excessively over every hour or anything but over a few days etc, itll go back to the red until i uninstall something to free like 1gb.

Im not a complete amateur when it comes to computing but feel like one when it comes to vista.

I have 2gb RAM, Acer Aspire 5720 with intel core 2 duo processor.

I cannot figure out whats taking up the space and cannot find anything when searching or browsing manually.

I can find nothing more to remove, please help.

ANY suggestions will be appreciated.

modify: i am just adding what it says:

9.54gb free of 68.7gb

so whatevers going on its HUGE!

Some big "takers", not always clearly visible: restore points, page file, hibernation file...

Do what broni said but also keep this in mind.....
Do you have a webcam? I have seen before that somebody's webcam would be on every time they had their computer on, recording.

I will try what Broni has said. No i dont have a webcam connected or built in to the laptop.

I am eager to find the culprit that is eating my c drive space... so will get back to you after trying that step.

Thats freed lot's of memory thanks.

It was a 'temp' folder hidden in Users/AppData

I doubt i needed it, my laptop aint crashed without it yet ha!
