Please help, my hard drive is filling up itself!

[Digimortal]

I've got a 20Gb Hard Drive, no games installed, not much music or movies or anything like that. Yet it tells me I only have 7Gb of free space, anyone have any top tips for removing all the junk windows fills up your PC with?

Some information about my PC:
- Using Windows XP (Copied Version)
- No games installed
- Small collection of movies and music (no more than 100Mb)

Also, it should be noted that just yesterday I had 1Gb of space and I found a folder called "temp" in my computer that was full of music (really long pop songs, it was wierd), I didn't understand it's significance so I deleted it all (5Gb).

Any help is much apprechiated since I don't have a clue!

Edit - I think what I need is one of those programs that deletes all the useless junk from your PC, anyone got a link to a good one?

Man that program makes no sense, hehe I give up

Treesize Pro makes no sense? How could it be easier, just click on C drive, press Scan button and let it show you which folders all your data's being held in.

P.S. 13GB is nothing, I've got 150 used up at the moment. Games are big.

Yup. You soon eat up that space... its amazing how quick 50 gig goes.

Try living on 9 gig, it's absolute hell.

Try living on 9 gig, it's absolute hell.

Try living on a 20 gig and an 80 gig with a 6 Gig back up...

... ...It'a actually suprisingly easy

MWAH HA HA!

Yeah I understand that part, but it doesnt tell me excactly what I can delete out of that data and which of it serves no purpuse.

You bast! I'll delete your post with.....eh? Argh! I have no powers in this forum, it is my moderation kryptonite *collapses*.

I know I sound like a complete dumb-ass, and it's true, I have no clue when it comes to PCs

Actually, I thought I'd never win the "ffs, I've run out of room again" race, but since last october when I built this box with 120gig, I've never come remotely close to filling it.

I found some more temporary files using that TreeSize thing, I've now got 10Gb free out of 19Gb so I'm pretty chuffed

[choddo]

Splendid - it doesn't tell you what you don't need - just where the space has gone.

Garibaldi, how much would you pay for me old 40Gigger then?

[Garibaldi Biscuit]

Always on the lookout for an opportunity to make ??? eh Choddo?

I appreciate the offer but I think I'll pass, my current machine is too archaic to be upgraded very much, and while I could increase the power/capacity of various 'trimmings' I still wouldn't be able to do all I would like with the machine - hence I'm holding out doing anything at all to it until the inevitable upgrade in a year or so's time.
