Guest Bipsy Posted August 15, 2007 Posted August 15, 2007 Something is eating up space on my C: drive even as I'm watching it! How do I find out what's doing this? My hard drive is dangerously close to being completely full. I want to clean off stuff I don't use. Trying to figure out what's what is a challenge. Any help would be appreciated. -- Bipsy

Guest Gis Bun Posted August 17, 2007 Posted August 17, 2007 RE: C: clean-up Anything you are running that has logs enabled? Did you turn auditing on to "high"? Hopefully you aren't storing data (home directories, database, etc.) there... Temporary solutions (of course use at your own risk) include moving the swap file elsewhere, delete files from temp folders, and in case nothing else works, remove the uninstallation files and folders for service packs and hotfixes.
