I got a little pop up telling me my space on C:\ is low so I check it and there's only 3.59 gigs of space available out of 229 gigs.
So I pop into the drive to see what I can throw out, but even with folder hiding disabled there's only a total of 10.86 gigs of stuff I can see on the drive.
That means I have about 218.14 gigs of shit in the way that apparently isn't there and I can't do anything about, does anyone have any idea what I can do about this?
If you have a way to back up your essential data, you could try formatting the the hard drive.
Not an option unfortunately, and I'd rather learn how to resolve such issues instead of taking the easy route.
Run disk cleanup, you may have that notorious "Windows Error Reporting" bug where it goes into an infinite loop of dumping the entire contents of memory onto the hard drive over and over again until it fills it to capacity.
Another thing you can do is delete the contents of C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download (used by Windows update to store installed update setup files, but you don't need them in most cases.)
If you are running vista, its most likely the shadow copy service messing with you, mine stole 50GB off me
Pretty good (and probably the only) guide to reclaim it:
