Decky Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 If it is near full i would suggest you buy an external HD and move it all over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest LucaAltieri Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Go to folder: C:\Documents and Settings\Ash4\My Documents\Porn Delete anything viewed more than twice. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Or if 2 or more files are stuck together Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elbee909 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 For a file search of your entire drive. Sort by filesize. Delete big ones that are not needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decky Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 You could of course back up your important files and use a windows disk to reinstall windows formatting the drives in the process Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Bee Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Could be a virus, get it scanned. What Windows are you running? Have you made sure to install all updates/service packs? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Using Vista, how do i do the whole hard drive search thing? Ive got a pc with a 500gb sata sitting in it doing nothing, but would rather know the source of the problem than just transfering it over to another hdd Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elbee909 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Vista, can't really remember, been a while since I used it Search, All Files And Folders, filename *.*, specify size as more than 1MB at least and see what you get - obviously point it at the drive you want to know about.

BlueStar Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 A programme like treesize will show you where your hardrive space has gone graphically (assuming you've already uninstalled programmes you don't use any more and you've run disk cleaner to get rid of tempory files) http://www.jam-software.com/freeware/index.shtml CCleaner is canny as well for getting rid of temp files etc http://www.ccleaner.com/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob W Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 it's amazing how much space they take up - and then if it's OE go File- Compact - compact All folders Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jawesome Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Get a program called CCleaner and run it a couple of times. It will literally find about a gig from nowhere the first time it's run. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Mine was almost full as well until I transferred about 30GB of porn to my external one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elbee909 Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 It's possibly the geekiest question for a while, but how much local storage do people have? I have, erm, 4 TB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Bee Posted July 21, 2008 Share Posted July 21, 2008 Only 1.5TB here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elbee909 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I remember paying £100 for a 40 *meg* hard drive for my Amiga. And that was cheap. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Just 800GB here. Running low on space now though, will buy me a new one when I get back from Ibiza. Would like to get a 1 TB, but think it'd be just out of my budget. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest elbee909 Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I have a state of the art 8k Sinclair Sinclairs had 1k, 16k, 48k or 128k. Though I guess you could expand the ZX81 to 8K so will let you off. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
