Change in approach to your problem : Analysis of the space usage.. Try Treesize, and/or Sequoiaview to get a report/view of the space usage on your system
I occasionally use both - Treesize for a summary, and Sequoiaview (in Squarial) view to see the file sizes etc. JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Hugh Gundersen" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, August 30, 2005 8:55 AM Subject: Soft: Suddenly - well slowly I am losong Hdd space? Hi Folks Now I have this problem of installing everything I use - strange custom I know but there you have it. A few months ago I had about 30% on my OS drive free (10.6Gb free of 40Gb) now I have only 1.6Gb from out of 40Gb. I have not installed any overly large progs and have deleted the SP2 files. There are no documents or pictures on C: except for those installed with programs. Earlier problems I have encountered is with D: where I keep or download files to. Often this reads that I have only 10Gb left out of 23Gb but then slowly drops to 10Mb. No matter how much I empty old files and defrag it still reads 10Mb left. I copied the whole drive to another drive and reformatted D: then copied all the files back to find they only took 8Gb out of 23Gb whereas before the exercise they read 22.9Gb out of 23.4Gb. Q. have I only got 1.6Gb left on C: or is it reading wrong? Q2 If reading/recording wrong can I do a similar exercise as before with D:? Q3 Backup and restore would only give the same problems? Q4 Any resolutions and help would be welcome? Sir Hugh of Bognor Intelligence is not knowing the answer but knowing where and how to find it!
