Hard drive

Hi All.

I have a strange thing with my hard drive.If I go to properties from the hard drive ,I see that the hard drive jump up from 25.5 gb to 33.8 gb,did not install any programs ,out side Sketchup 8. This happend in the last 2 days.
What's going on? Thanks for your time.

 

try diskcleanup in case there is a buildup

also check what occupying what with WinDirStat

WinDirStat used to go by Sequoia, or they are very similar applications.

I have been looking for a replacement on win7 for OverDisk, which I loved on XP and used all the time. I have tried DiskFan, which is ok, but not really as good. I have tried a few others too, but again, just not as good.

Does anyone know of any others that might be worth looking into, for both the OP and myself?

The utility I use is SpaceSniffer,portable and free.

Thanks for your reply on my question.I deleted my old restore system info and that brought my hard drive back to 26 gb.Then I used WinDirStat,to clean a lot of old files.Spacesniffer looks good but a bit to technical for me.

Cheers , Jacko.

 

Which OS? System restore point, VSS etc.

 

I used to find icon files (ico) that grew to 25 1/2 GB, so when I get large fluctuations. I use "Tuneup Utility" it has a "Disk Space Explorer".
