I was looking at the space left which is 1.2 gigs out of 80. SO i look at my program files folder and it says there is 41 Gigs of stuff in there. I go there and check every folder(right click and then properties) and then there is no way all those stuff adds up to 40 Gigs. anyone have any idea wat my problem is. Its not system restore so i dunno what else it could be... could it be a virus? I tried window washer by the way..
btw i use window xp
41GB is a lot for Program Files, but I guess it could be right....(especially if some of your p2p apps download to a directory there)...but
make sure you've got it set so you can see hidden/system files, etc.
Get a program called SequoiaView, its free.
here we go again...more programs to perform simple operations that can be performed natively
SequoiaView will show your entire hard drive on one screen and you can hover your mouse over any file and it will tell you its exact loaction and file size.

If you want to look for 'a' file or file types, maybe.Quote:

or search by a minimum size, etc. ;)
True, but I just like how SequoiaView gives the entire HD on a block diagram scale with hover abilities that give details.Quote:

Its really just a matter of taste really, but hey, try them all and....well the rest is in my sig. ;)
:o
it's more than a matter of taste....it's extraneous software!
Its Softwareworld, what do you expect :rolleyes:Quote:

Ok, question.....
If sequiaview were built into windows (and I think it should be),
Would it then be acceptible to use it to get a graphical impression of your hard drive layout?
:P
:lol:
Ok.....good-bye PhotoImpact and Photo Shop......Look out M$ Paint :w00t:
Just kiddin' ;)

you go slipstream ;)
thanks!!! i found out my anti-virus had 31 gigs :angry: . I wonder why... but now thats all in the past. I have 32 gigs on my comps now!! yay!!
wtf man....how can that be possible? what were the files that were the biggest?
edit - what antivirus as well?
:o
all quarantined stuff?
yea thats my best assumption....but thats a LOT of stuff....perhaps lots of programs went there
it was that trend pc cillin. There was a lot of like VSS13656.biq or something files in there that was bigger that was like 700mb each. SO yea
by any Chance do you have Bootvis installed onto your system? It can rake some major havoc on your system and create huge huge log files...like say over 3 gigs. Just have to make sure to make the correct preference settings with the program accordingly.
i dont have bootvis installed..
