Solved: Hard drive fills up automatically
Hey guys I am back with a new problem again

Yesterday I uninstalled my Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 while i was uninstalling there was a warning saying Black list program is missing or something of that sort and suddenly when i noticed my hard drive capacity it went from 10GB to 2GB and within minutes i had a notificatoin saying that i have less space in C drive I cleaned it using disk clean up but disk clean up just cleaned only 4GB space and then again it started to fill up until I fully uninstalled KIS 2009 Now i have installed AVAST Professional but when i scanned it for any virus it found one or two and removed it and i again scanned my machine using Spybot that found one sypware and everything was cleared but my main problem now my machine has only 2 GB space in it's C drive I don't know where the other 8GB went so please someone help me in this.

And please tell me how to clear my hard drive

Thanks

You can use Treesize Free: http://www.jam-software.com/freeware/index.shtml to find where you 8GB went. We can then suggest a solution.

Hi there Bichey,
Getting along o.k!Thank you for calling.

Dear Nitishbpo,
Download Piriform Defraggler and run it! You can also download Glary utilities and run "Duplicate file find" and you'll be surprised at the number of duplicates.You can delete them and check your drive.
