I am having this problem with my space consumption on my C drive. I have
a Sony Vaio PCG TR5MP laptop, 1.10 GHz, 512 ram, 40 Gb HDD. My hard disk
is partitioned into two drives, C and D each 18.6GB. Recently The space
on my C drive has been reducing marginally, from 8 GB free hard disk
space to 4GB, to 2GB. I deleted moved all my downloads which were saved
in the Program Files folder to the D: which was intially takin up 8 Gigs
of my hard disk space. I left 2 GB worth of files in the folder and had
my hard disk space on the C: up to 4GB again, but the next time I
checked my space I had 3,83 GB on the C: so I was like WTF!!! what is
going on because i had not downloaded or saved anything in the time
that had taken, but i chose to ignore it and thought it was just my
hard disk adjusting. I checked my hard disk space and it had reduced
almost to 2GB of space. I decided to go through my files and see which
ones were out of proportion, but they all seemed fairly reasonably
sized. I monitored the file sizes for a while and found no changes, my
space C: decreased and none of my folders/files had increased in size.
Now I am at 2,34 GB and still no change in my folder sizes, I do not
know if i have a virus. I ran a scandisk and nothing appeared. please
anyone if you have any suggestions tell me

Open My Computer. Right click on C:. Do the clean up. Then go to Tools and
do the ChkDsk and Defrag.

Select Disk CleanUp, More Options, System Restore and remove all but the
latest restore point.

Limit the space allocated to System Restore. Start, Control Panel,
System, System Restore, Settings. Mine is set at 6% ,which is less than
the default.

Hope this helps.

Hmmm. My XP Home version of Disk Cleanup
doesn't offer the "More Options" feature you
describe. Know that I have tons of system
restore files but am clueless as to where they
are located.

Thanks for the tip on reducing speace for
system restore files. Mine had been set at
maximum of 12%. Reset to it to 8% to
strike a happy medium.

How are you accessing the Disk CleanUp utility? If I access using the
command line option the More Options tab is not there. If you have not
already done so try Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, Disk
CleanUp.

I'm accessing the disk cleanup utility through
Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Clean Up

There's no "More Options" tab.

Launched the utility and it produced a box to
select the drive to be analyzed. No other options.
Strange. Oh well, I have never run the disk cleanup
utility before because I have 74% available on an
80 GB drive. I defrag often. Thanks anyway.
