tuti Posted February 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 yes i turned off system restore weeks ago, and I dont have backup program running. Just when I download using the uTorrent, some free space go to space =/. I downloaded all the file, and the free space continue minimal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 Have you run Scandisk/checkdisk on your (failing?) hard drive that's misreporting free space? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBear Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 You might want to download CCleaner and find out what temp files and other junk are taking up your drive space.http://www.ccleaner.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tuti Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 I have ccleaner years ago and I use it, but not is temp files. How can I run scandisk/checkdisk without reset? I did desfragmentation too and dont resolve my problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted February 23, 2007 Report Share Posted February 23, 2007 So long as your hard drive is only being read from, I think you can run scandisk/checkdisk without a reboot/reset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
