Hi I have Ultimate SP1, I keep a check on hard drive available space, following a recent Format and reinstalling of all of my software I had 330 gig available on my Hard drive of 450Gig. This morning I ran the usual check after Disk Cleanup and CCleaner was run and I have 308 Gig, that's over 20 gig gone, I did have a BSOD caused by a faulty DVD program but the dmp file would have been removed with Disk Cleaner or CCleaner. Any ideas of what could have caused this? thanks Daniel >> Stay informed about: Lost space on Hard drive

I don't konw what would have caused a 22GB change in a short amount of time, but I don't know when you did the prior check. Do a web archive search for DX Hog Hunt. It will list every file and folder and the amount of real estate occupied. Also type %temp% in the run box and ctrl+A>shift+delete all temp files that will delete. Check your recycle bin if you allow things deleted to be sent there instead of using shift+delete as a default.

Hi Chad I checked yesterday, or if not it was definitely the day before, I have run Disk Cleanup and Ccleaner, after deleting everything in the %temp% folder. I cannot find Disk Hog Hunter I think it has been withdrawn. regards Daniel "Chad Harris" wrote in message > I don't konw what would have caused a 22GB change in a short amount of > time, but I don't know when you did the prior check.

Daniel -- I thought it might make you feel at ease if you saw the page where I got the link for the MSI.exe . It's DVXP's former web page. The company was sold, and it's mission changed, and even if I could read Dutch, you have to go to the archive in order to download DX Hog Hunt, but the download and app do work. The parent page is here, and you scroll down to download the app: [URL="http://web.archive.org/web/20031106023733/www.dvxp.com/en/Downloads.aspx"]http://web.archive.org/web/20031106023733/www.dvxp.com/en/Downloads.aspx[/URL] Best of luck, CH "Daniel" wrote in message > Hi Chad > > I checked yesterday, or if not it was definitely the day before, I have > run Disk Cleanup and Ccleaner, after > deleting everything in the %temp% folder. > > I cannot find Disk Hog Hunter I think it has been withdrawn. > > regards > > Daniel > > "Chad Harris" wrote in message >> I don't konw what would have caused a 22GB change in a short amount of >> time, but I don't know when you did the prior check.

Problem solved, I think. Turns out my system ran a restore point four times yesterday, these were listed as Scheduled Restore Points, I'm not sure how they were scheduled, but I removed all but the latest point and got back over 40 Gig. This is now something else I need to look into. Thanks for your help, at least I got a useful program out of it; IE Hog Hunt. thanks and regards Daniel "Daniel" wrote in message > Thanks Chad > > I did a Kaspersky AV and Spyware scan on the download and there were no > problems. > > regards > > Daniel > > "Chad Harris" wrote in message >> Daniel -- >> >> I thought it might make you feel at ease if you saw the page where I got >> the link for the MSI.exe .

A couple of weeks ago I too had disapearing space on my HD, I went from 90 Gigs free to 2 gigs free in 2 days. I cleaned up a lot of dead files and cleared up 30 gigs, left the computer running over night and was completely out of space the next day. I couldn't figure out why suddenly I would use over 90 gigs of space in 2 days time, I checked my Home Server backups and found that I had system files totaling 110 gigs on my system, checked some of the older backups and they showed 14 gigs max. This all started after an update from Microsoft I believe it was the November updates, I turned off System Restore (no use having it on since I run Home Server) and bang I have 120 gigs free.. This is a bug that was put in by Microsoft in November.. Hopefully, for those who are having this problem also and don't run the Home Server, they will fix it.. Hope this helps..
