Guest Honeysweet Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Hi everyone.. I have a maybe stupid question.. I am trying to free up hard drive space, yet it seems although I dont have many things listed when I look at my add/remove programs in the control panel, I am still low on harddrive space..and I frequently get a notice saying so. I do have things listed in my add/remove that I simply dont know what they are but they have always been there such as Turbo Project v.4 and NetActive Launcher (what are those and do I need to keep them?) What is a good way to free up hard drive space, since I am obviously overlooking something somewhere... Ive uninstalled everything I think I can take off safely.. What else could be lurking? Where is the best place to look? Thanks in advance.. Tarcia

Guest Mart Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 Re: problem freeing harddrive space A couple of freeware utilities which might help locate what's taking up space. A) WinDirStat - http://windirstat.info/ B) Dfolder Size v3.2 - http://www.freewareweb.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?ID=620 Both work well with WinMe.
