I already did a recycle bin and defragment. It just seems as though my
computer does not free up the space. It is weird, when I add new programs my
space does not go down untill recently. It seems as though there is a
'buffer'. When I deleted my programs, I did not recieve any space back, but
as I added none was taken away until recently.

Thanks For All of Your Help

Do use Norton products?

How large is your hard drive? Is it partitioned? How much free space on
each drive / partition. How is the drive formatted -FAT32 or NTFS. To
get this information whilst in Windows Explorer place the cursor on each
drive in turn, right click and select Properties.

I am not running out of space, but just bought my computer and was wondering
where my free space went.

You did not answer this question -Do use Norton products?
http://snipurl.com/j8g4

Or -How is the drive formatted -FAT32 or NTFS.?

You Windows folder alone will take up over 3 gb. If the System Restore
default disk space allocation has not been changed, that will absorb
another 7gb. On the size of size of disk you have I would opt for 4%
saving about 4.5 gb.
