Solve : Please help! Losing hard drive space!!? |
|
Answer» I have an hp PAVILION notebook with vista that is about a year old. In the past week, I've noticed that I'm almost out of disk space. Its a 105gb hd that only has about 300mb left. I started uninstalling programs with the uninstall feature but would end up with even less space. I've run spyware scans, and virus scans with numerous different programs. I've used disk cleanup and defragment. I've removed all pictures, movies, and songs, but I'm still showing low disc space. I've got a few small programs left on there but they are essential ones. I've run regedit and I do still find items from old programs in there that I delete, but the disk space is still low and doesn't increase even after uninstalling programs. My c: drive is showing that it is working properly. I don't know what else to do besides wipe it all out and start over. Please help!!! Its a 1gb hd that only has about 300mb left.I'm trying to recall when was the last time, I've seen 1GB hard drive?? Windows 95? Certainly, not with Vista.Thanks for pointing out my typo. Its a 105gb drive.Get Disc Space Reporter: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/System-Info/Disc-Space-Reporter.shtml, and SEE what's taking space.I'll try that thank you!I tried to download it and it SHOWS Error Diskspacereporter.exe is not a valid win32 application. You certainly have some OS problems. Is the laptop still under warranty?Yes it is. I did find another version and it downloaded and is running. Even though I've run avg and bitdefender numerous times, could a virus be the problem with the hd?
