    Update on "C drive filling up but nothing there"

    Firstly thanks again to everyone who contributed to this topic. I think I have the answer so thought I'd let everyone know. Firstly another little utility to recommend. Windirstat "http://windirstat.info/" is a directory utility. This did show these unknown files but only as a calculation of...

    C drive filling up but nothing there

    You are correct in that this is getting beyond my expertise however I'll try what I can of these latest suggestions and if anything comes up trumps I'll let you know. I guess that given the rate at which the drive is filling I have a little time yet before the C drive is filled so unless...

    C drive filling up but nothing there

    Right. Thanks for all your suggestions but dont forget that, thanks to advice on here, I'm looking at every file on the C drive and there just are not any files in there that either individually or collectively approach the 70 gigs I'm looking for. Anyhow consider this. Willing to try...
