Installed and Uninstalled XP Mode and now my hard disk is losing space
Hello
I installed Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC a few days ago on my drive. At that time I had 160 GB free.Then In noticed I was losing space. So I decided to uninstall them both. I did that and I removed the other things like the VHD Drive and the XP Mode Application. I removed all of that and I got a few GBs back but no matter what I delete, the problem persists and after a few minutes I end up losing the space I got back and more! I got on Google and reviewed cases like mine but nothing did the trick. I had as low as 108 GB. But I went to Disk Cleanup and pressed the Remove Old Restore Points and Shadow Copies button and I went from 108 to 140 GB! This is great! But I still need to know what happened to the other twenty I had.
And, I don't know if this helps, but right before I had 160 GB ( and before I installed XP Mode on my Hard Dive ) my computer was in a similar scenario which happened a few days ago (It had about 68 GB). I used TreeSize to find the file that was eating up my Hard Drive and I found out that my Temporary Files ate up a whopping 90GB! So I cleaned them out with CCleaner.
I hope you can find out what happened. And hurry please!
Thanks in advance!!!
