I have windows XP professional. Hewlett Packard. I GIG hard drive. I have about 15 ten PAGE business docs on it, plus about 20 photos. Each time I try to free up disk space then defragment my main drive space is reduced. I now have 23% of free space left. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me what is filling up my computer. I disk cleanup and delete browsing history.
MA few details would be of benefit. Please read this and include your hdd specs and what you've tried to do to reduce usage.



The usual suspects are: System Restore, Temporary Internet Files, Recycle Bin, Malware

To rule out the last, do a FULL SCAN with BOTH your anti virus UTILITY and EITHER (or both) MalwareBytes or Super AntispywareHey. I followed the advice re antivirus and malwarebytes. As soon as I downloaded Malware my computer went berzerk. The screen seized. For some reason Roxia MEDIA kept coming up. I ended up restarting and deleting Malware. What could this be? When you downloaded it or when you installed it? Boot to safe mode and run the scan from there.
