Default Hard Drive no space Question

hello again

ok doki, i filed up my 80gig hard drive today. oh dear god. yet the computer is still fast, however this could explain my computer crashing with games all the time.

i have emptied 16gig worth of stuff so far and i have this folder filling up 1 gig

C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Local Settings\Temp

what can and cant i delete in it

also, do you know of any other good places where some large random files could be hiding.

thank you

Hey there HL!

Try this excellent little app: http://www.pchelpforum.com/utilities/10585-treesize.html - it'll tell you where all of that precious space is going. Also, try deleting the folder in safe-mode

Moved to XP/2K
