I used system restore a few times today cuz my comp was acting a little weird....and it works fine now, but I looked at my hard drive and i LOST like 50 gigs.....is this supposed to happen? Is there a way I can delete things to get my space back?? I know it wasnt from programs or files, because there are the same programs and files as before.
Thanks

you could delete any old restore points from system restore:
this is done by:
right click c: then properties, then disk cleanup, then click more options, then clean up restore points.

i dont use system restore but am i correct in saying that everytime you restor it creates a restore point from where you have restored.
have you been downloading via any p2p apps, big files?

I don't even bother with system restore, only got 5 GB of my 20 GB left. That and, I'll take my chances, if worse comes to worse, I can always reformat.

i did what chinook first told me to do and i got like 43 gigs back...im not sure if this was originally how much i had...or if i lost a few gigs...but i guess its better than nothing
thx
oh and after a few restores...i lost all the downloads in my mirc section...didnt really need em....but i had alot of stuff (maybe 5-10gb) so i'm thinking i should have even more space than before (i know i used either 40 or 50 gb before)...so now i'm thinking i should only have used 35-40 gigs, but it says i used 60...eh....confusing....
