Losing Memory

[rustyk50]

I am on XP with Crator 9. Every DVD that I copy I loose the same amount of space on my hard drive. Each film is about 4.5 Gig. After 7 DVDs I am out of free space on my Hard Drive and can not find where it is and delete it. When I copy music this does not happen. can anyone help?

Do a search on "temp" and "temporary" folders and see what is contained in each folder. You should be safe to delete the contents.

What happens if you close all programs and reboot the pc?

Take a look at the nifty utility cited by Steve in this post. Great for cleaning out garbage that's taking up space in your hd.

The important part of linking to that post is not the utility!

 

"Also if the files are temp files (which they should be), then rebooting the computer should wipe them out".
