RE: Suddenly no free space (Resolved)

Thanks for your help Guys.

Armed with WinDirStat I visited my friend and ran it on his full drive.

It immediately showed up the problem.

My friend is not very computer wise and he unknowingly dumped the contents

of a data CD into the C\.

Funny, it was about the time he first noticed that his drive was full.

Thanks for WinDirStat, a great little utility.

My first post.

This is a WIN98 question but I suppose it could apply to XP.

My friend has an old WIN98 computer that his wife uses only for her Email.

The active partition is 6GB and has always been about 2GB used.

Suddenly it reports that it has only a few MB free, the drive is almost

full.

I got him to delete and recreate the windows managed swap file, and he only

has the default recycle bin which is empty.

He searched the hard drive for any unknown large files and found none.

Any suggestions please,

Lyn.

Google for windirstat, a freeware program that will show you what is using

up your disk space. It works on Win98.
