    Have you tried deleting the temporary internet files from within Internet Explorer? Tools>Internet Options>Delete Files... Leave it some time. It takes a while.

    If vb1234's idea doesn't work then maybe you should run scandisk/disk check.
    It seems like the space isn't being calc'd right or something.

    Sometimes the correct size doesnt show up for folders. So make sure to go to each subfolder and add the sizes of the files inside them..
    blah blah blah... whatever...

    I've added up each folder's size, Temp. Internet Files folder is the one that reports 4.3gb, but the location it gives me is Documents And Settings/Aviv/Local Users and not Temp. Int Files.

    Download Disk Size Manager from http://www.spadixbd.com/dsm/
    Do a scan and it will show you what folders are using up all the space.
    If you want to clear down your temp internet files try doing this

    Click Start - RUN
    Type 'cmd' hit OK
    from DOS prompt type the following

    cd c:\documents and settings\your user name\local settings\temporary internet files
    Then press return
    then type erase *.* /s /q hit return
    This will go through all Sub folder deleting all files.
    Be careful and make sure your prompt reads cd c:\documents and settings\your user name\local settings\temporary internet files before deleting
    Hope that helps

    a visual file lister like sequoiaview may help you find the bloated directories.

    Did you try looking in your MY DOCUMENTS and seeing what is in there? Because whatever is in there, is stored in Documents and Settings!

    Try checking the "My Documents" folder on your PC and not the folder listed under your usename.

    Any help?
    Maybe I'm wrong but, 4.3gb is around the size of a downloaded dvd.
    If you have downloaded dvd's before, search all the folders that you would've saved them to(or extracted the rars to), such as My Shared Folder etc...
    I had the same(well, very similar) problem and this was the answer.
