hi all
just a quick question, i have a acer laptop which has 2 32gig hard drives the first has all the programs and windows on and the second i have transfered all my files(music,videos,pictures,downloads etc) onto to save space on the c drive but for some reason the c drive keeps filling up and leaving no space. i have run cleaners,deleted unused programs but dont know how to free up anymore space and dont know how it keeps filing up. i went through most of the files on the drive and cant find out where the 32 gig has gone can anyone shed a bit light on this problem for me
cheers in advance

why not install bigger hard drives. look in your program files folder for a folder called hotbar as it might be full of shoppers reports. happened with a customer with about 30gigs of shoppers reports had to delete as she only had 4.5meg free out of a 40gig hd.

goto windows explorer not internet explorer, goto tools tab & select folder options. goto view tab, look at advanced settings, goto hidden files & folders & select "Show hidden files & folders". hit apply then ok. now do a properties on each folder on the hard drive to see what size it is as that is what i did when looking for the missing 30gigs of hd space.
