Default Re: OS Partition fills up

Hi Knight_wolf,

I can't say I'm hardly suprised with only 100mb? Why so low?

Remember that Windows, as well as many other applications require the storage of temporary files in order to work properly. The most important of these files is the Windows Swap File. (Swap file)

Internet Explorer, as an example of an application that also requires temporary storage, as every page you visit is saved in a temporary directory located in c:\Documents and Settings\your profile name\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

I believe your problem is a simple matter of clearing some space wolf.

EDIT: Marked as Answered.
