Hi, I reinstalled my Windows XP Pro and got rid of lots of old programs etc, but now its saying that my C Drive is 99% full!
How can this be when I got rid of so much before I reinstalled it? I click on individual folder properties on my C Drive and the sizes dont add up to much, let alone 71Gb out of a 76Gb capacity C Drive!
Any suggestions please?
Thank you

im going to take a wild guess that one of 2 things happened. when u reinstalled windows did u delete all of the partitions and just put every thing on c which if done right should say new raw then give the size of the harddrive?it sounds to me that u reinstalled it on top of the previous copy of xp and thats why its so full. or u need to run a disk cleanup and defrag badly.im guessing that your harddrive is 80gigs.when u reinstall its best to delete all of the previous partitions and start fresh.hope this helps u.

Not a suggestion BUT, Why not reformat the C drive before the reinstall?

Just to say that I have another thread going on here at the moment regarding my laptop being very slow. This thread is regarding my desktop PC. Just to avoid any confusion for anyone helping me.
Thanks for all your great advice.
