Windows XP eats my HD!

hey guys!
I have an old PC! MY C: HS has only 5GB (D=70GB ;-)
C:is only for windows and documents. I have a realy problem because sometimes I have 200MB of free space and next start its only 30MB! I don't understand because I deleted IE offline Files and the coockies also The system restor files are deleted(only the last stays)... so wtf is going oN????

Your swap file varies in size, so you shouldnt be cutting it that close to begin with.

Also, turn off HIBERNATION in the power management !

Next, move any single file such as P2P to your larger drive. Uninstall programs that you can live without
Empty the temp folders too

I can delet all files in C:/Windows/TEMP ???

[Krell]

Thats why they call it temp

What happens is, all that software you have installed in program files, when you go to unzip it etc, it goes in Temp, then stayed there untill its deleted.

You really need about 1.5Gb breathing room, keep workin on it.
