Just a thought, may be a virus is creating folders repeatedly.

+1 cCleaner is a fantastic tool. That is, if you DON'T use the registry cleaner bit

Give this a try pal

Code:

I use it to find any specific space hogs and i have found it very helpfull in the past. I know that you know which folder is huge but this will automatically find any big hidded files

Which also counts hardlinks multiple times, while technically it should, the results are not accurate. The Hardlinks also extend into Program Files as well.

Mine is only 8,84

but with all the apps it's fat

It may well count hard links, but that doesn't matter if it's a big file and not just lots of little files that he's looking to find.
