hey I need help badly with my C drive, for some odd reason my space is declining slowly. I first started out with 8.86GB now im down 7.90GB and I didnt install or download anything. Does anyone know whats the problem?
I used Kaspersky Anti-virus and got rid of 36 bad and infected files yesterday and i havent burned any movies, and now im down to 7.88GB.
You must have updated either manually or automatically the newer patches that just came out for windows xp. Run update and see if there are any to be found. If not, then part of your problem could be in the updates that have just been done. Also delete your temporary internet files and cookies and see what that gives you as well. If space is taken up, something is in that space and it had to come from either a download, picture or music files, or software installs.
yeah there arent any updates so i guess it was that and i just deleted some stuff and now im up to 8.02GB but the problem still persist.
Do you have any backup programs running. Try installing Zone Alarm and this should let you know what's accessing the internet. You may then be fortunate to identify and eliminate the culprit by limiting the access of various programs. Here's a simple thought to see whether it's something accessing the internet or it's something occurring locally on your HDD. Disconnnect from the internet for however long you think would be sufficient to make a difference and see if your HDD space is less. If it's less then you know it's something local. If not then you have a general idea where to concentrate your energies. It sounds so much like Windows updating itself automatically or some program updating itself, but you didn't see any evidence of that. Still thinking.....
i havent read theese properly but try deleting the temp files with this http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.asp it could be that thres loads of temp fles gathering up.
