| | Post your my computer -> C: drive properties. Post My Computer -> Properties -> System Protection -> (select C drive) -> Configure Post My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings -> Advanced -> Performance Settings -> Advanced -> Virtual Memory -> Change Post the size of your Program files and Program file (x86) directories Do you have hibernation enabled? Fill out your systems specs, e.g. how much memory you have and other computer info. |

| | When you say you backed up your files I presume you made a copy ie Windows backup. While this is good as it will allow you to restore you PC in case something goes wrong, it is not going to remove data from your drives. What you can do is cut and paste your personal files to another drive so they are still accessible, Ie from your E:\ drive. (films music pictures etc.) You need to be careful not to move system files as they may no longer work To clean up your C:\ drive, right click on the drive and select Properties and disc cleanup     Last edited by pooch; 08-03-2011 at 01:14 PM..

| | If you want to know WHAT is taking up the disk space, use this little prgram. It's great at finding unknown file space hogs... WinDirStat - Windows Directory Statistics |

| Vista and Windows7, sometimes Ubuntu and Fedora | Apart from checking with the excellent program that fseal posted, you must also check your shadowstorage because that would not show up in the WinDirStat charts. Open an elevated Command Prompt and type or paste vssadmin list shadowstorage Then hit Enter. Look for the C and E numbers. Allocated is what is currently used. Maximum is what will be ultimately used. If those numbers are anything bigger than 5 to 10GBs, we'll have to reduce the shadowstorage. Post back and we will tell you how. |

| | Wow that program is awesome I love it. and the elevated command prompt of shadowstorage showed 1% shadowstorage but thanks for both. i can see that my zbrush 4 projects and tools are whats clogging everything up I think that made it prety clear to me. THANKS |
