What's eating up the hard drive?

[Guest]

This question is related to Window Vista system restore. I had used it
several times and after each system restore, I usually go and delete all my
previous restore points. I also go and delete all temp files in the
Window/Temp folder and in application data/local/Temp folder. I then used
system clean up to delete any memory errors and other junk files. Without
turning system restore back on, I notice my disk space is smaller after
around two system restores. Does anyone know what is eating up the hard drive?

It's easy to misunderstood this. Let say I have 2 gig in my hard drive.

Turning sytem restore on reduce my hard drive to 1.7 gig.

I used system restore once and after all the clean up, my hard drive is back
to the original 2 gig.

I use system restore again and perform the same maintenance, except instead
of being back to 2 gig, my hard drive is now 1.9 gig. This gradual reduction
happened after every two system restores. My question is what is eating up
that space?

Its possible crash logs are also contributing to it. How big is your disk
drive? Have you ran the Disk Clean Up wizard (All Programs > Accessories >
System Tools > Disk Cleanup).

Thank you Andre for responding. My hard drive is 50 gig. It's an offline
computer so it won't have any weird thing from the net. The thing is I notice
it get slightly smaller only after I used system restore to go back to a
previous point. I'm suspecting it could be some log or something that's
taking up the space, but I don't really know.

I had use Disk Cleanup, but it's not that.

The bloatware known as Vista. Microsoft is still, after all these years,
incapable of writing a good operating system. Either live with that reality
or move on to an operating system not riddled with all this crap....
Ubuntu!

Cheers.

Give it a rest. Go outisde, lick yourself and chase parked cars. Who gives
a RATS ASS about Ubuntu anyway? Ubuntu is just a TOY OS.

I don't know how good Vista disk cleanup is. I've used CCleaner for a number
of years... a free utility you can get here: http://www.ccleaner.com/ It's
pretty comprehensive and you can check off what you want to clean. It even
has a cookie manager so you can set aside cookies you want to keep.

Believe what you want. Savy computer users disagree with your assessment.
But I don't give a **** how ignorant you are. Use what you want, but for
all the others who might benefit by knowing that a real operating system is
available, I'll be here to let them know.

Cheers.
