Loosing Disk Space Rapidly

[kalanaweerlk]

I'm loosing disk space in drive C: rapidly. Now there's only 200 MB left in it!!
I have allocated 9Gb to drive C:.

But have nothing other than some softwares installed in it.

Pls.. Help me Guys.. Cause I have nothing to move from C: other than system files.. :( :( :(

Are u Using Vista ?

1.Desable System Restore

2. And Do A Disc Clean Up and Clean the Restore Files and Hibanation Cache

[kosandpol]

looks like you got a virus of some sort. There's also the possibility that your my documents and emails (stored in C drive by default) has taken up the space.

First thing, Identify the virus. Use a good anti virus software and scan your PC. there are loads uploaded here at EK.
Then either the same AV software can clean it up or post the virus findings and someone here can recommend a way to remove it.
Learn to report a problem properly, then others can help you. With vague descriptions like what you have given its not possible to give a good solution.

Dude if its newly installed or a C drive which has hardly anything else installed, is it so hard to just format the damn drive and install xp again? :confused: :rolleyes:

All the trouble and time you are taking to recover from a possible virus or any other issue can be used to just format and install the xp.... Its just a matter of 10-15mins to format and install XP.

[kinkon]

Format koramu...:P
Do a full format on drive C: & install the XP man...:oo:

[suki300me]

Machan, Most of the time windows fills the disk with "System Restore" garbage. There is a folder system volume information in every partition. If you can't see it goto windows explorer and Tools>Folder Options, View tab Select "Show hidden files and folders" and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files(Recommended)" Don't worry, it is safe. With it you can keep track of system files.

Now, delete everything in system volume information folder. Windows won't allow you to delete some files, so avoid them. These are backups of deleted non-windows files. So they can be used in System Restore. But in WinXP, it's rubbish. It makes problems worse. Just use the the standard procedure for a restore. Bad Software? Uninstall and Clean Registry, Bad Drivers? Reinstall Etc.
So what's the need of rubbish backup data? Delete them.

P.S. If you have a NTFS partition, you might need a third party tool. Try googleing

Hope this helps
