Something taking up an insane amount of space on my hard drive

So my comp is pretty old and it only has 28.6 GB of space for me to use, and now something is taking up alot of that space which I don't know what it is. Help?

If you have a program like Glary Utilities, it can check your whole drive and tell you how much space each folder or file is taking up. It'll also give you a list of files that's taking up the most space on your hard drive.

Thanks to both of you, I see it now XD

Have you tried Defragmenting your hard drive? Sometimes that helps you clear up space. It should be on your control panel after you click on the start menu. I can't remember exactly where it is on your version of Windows (I have Windows 7). But it may be under Systems and Security. There should be an option for freeing up space on your hard-drive and another for Defragmenting your hard-drive.

If you haven't done it before....it takes a while to run, but it can help with the speed of your computer.

I hope this helps you!

I figured out it was a ton of temp files from my camera + other things clogging up my hard drive. ^^

Those temp files can get you. Especially the temporary internet files.

I'm glad you found your fix!
