Thanks
According to Hal's logic
"30 GB 30,000,000,000 30 GB 27.94 GB "
is correct in relation to my machine now
yet
it was not like that when i got it....
its not really a problem just questionable
does windows not hide the swap space from you in order to stop you thinking you can put files there?
ah shit maybe your right
just searched google where exactly or how can i see the swap file size?
although it said that swapfile is somewhere in C:/ wouldn't that then register as natural space usage?
Hi 100%, maybe this will helpOriginally Posted by 100%
Swap file is paging file and is also called virtual memory
to see it ...go to(drill down)
start/settings/control panel/system/advanced/performance/settings
advanced/virtual memory...look for paging file size/select change
and current virtual memory on your pc will be displayed....perhaps
this is part of what you seek.
reread your thread...
2gb...that is usually a restore point(does not usually show up)
mine was around 3gb...I removed system restore and gained that
space.

it is the small things that usually drive us mad
My paging file is c:\pagefile.sys, yours may be on a different drive, that can help you to see how big it is.
Altho kazaa2002's way is probably better.
Actually, I borrowed it for the board, sorry.
You could have it back but Rossco's used it now.

most likely it's system restore memory, i to have gone through that. windows takes atleast a gig to install as well.

For an interesting way to look at your HDD contents try SequoiaView .
Select the "cushion map" view option.
Here is my C: drive...
Clicking on any of the boxes tells you what/where it is.
I was randomly looking around and found lots of useless, rather large files clogging things up...stuff like Bootvis trace logging files, etc.
A fun way to while away some time...
