I had between 4 and 5GB free left on my hard drive those last few months.
Suddenly I have now 10GB free without having cleaned anything or without any
Windows or other major update. How could this happen?

Unlike water, data does not evaporate so something or someone has apparently
deleted data.

Of course, this is why I am puzzled. I carry my laptop everywhere with me
and nobody else ever uses it, all my files seem to be there, the OS seems to
be running as usual.

10GB is a lot, I am really anxious about what has happened.

You didn't do a disk clean? Are you using Outlook Express?

Yes I use Outlook Express for Newsgroups and Outlook 2003 for mail,
calendar etc... but still 10GB seems to me an awful lot

Hi,

Did you run Disk Clean-up with the System Restore option?

And were any applications uninstalled?

And is Zone Alarm installed on the system?
