Is there a way to tell where all my hard drive memory is going to?
On my PC, XP. I have 69gb and I have no idea where it all went.

1. Try this:
Edited on Tue Nov-14-06 08:20 PM by lildreamer316
Go to My Computer on the start menu.
When the icon for the hard drive comes up, right click it.
Go to Properties.
The pie chart will tell you exactly how much is being used.
(Sorry if you know this already)
It wouldn't hurt to go ahead and do a disk cleanup while you're there
Then go to Control Panel in the Start menu.
Click on Add/Remove programs.
It should list every program you have on there,and how many gigs/MB it's taking up. Maybe you can calculate it and figure it out?

Side note: If you have Musicmatch,and it is a version older than 8, it has spyware on it and takes up an ENORMOUS amount of space and energy. Get rid of it and downgrade to 8 or something else.

Oh-also-Alt+Control+Delete brings up what is running currently; and I believe it has a tab to see it on a running meter too. That might be worth a try.
