Hi, I just rebooted my computer for the first time in a couple of days, and before i booted, i had like 22GB free on my hard drive (i have 2 hard drives, one 5GB back up that i dont use), my main one, and when the comp rebooted, it says i have 6.64 GB free out of 50! Any ideas?



Thanks

Logan

    I'm in linux right now, but you might have a command called du



    do:



    du / | cat > mydrive.txt



    read mydrive.txt and start hunting down whatever is wasting multiple Gigs of space.

    disable all sharing..websharing etc...someone can duplicate data and fill it up....look for big files...and dont forget some files are invisible
