my computer has a 130gb hard drive but its telling me i only have 30gb left on the HD. the only stuff i really have on my computer is about 40 gb of music/movies, so how do i figure out what else is taking up so much room so that i can delete the stuff for more space???

start going thru your folders on the hd to see which one(s) is using up the rest of the space. had to do that for a customer with a 40gig drive that had about 4 megs free. found a folder by hotbar full of shoppers reports. cleared about 34 gigs of spce. also use ccleaner from this link as have cleaned at most so far about 2gigs of crap out of windows.
