Documents and Settings folder size issues

Guest

I have somehow lost a bunch of hard drive space on my computer. I am
wondering if the problem is with my documents and settings.

I click on my hard drive and go to documents and settings. I see the three
folders Administrator, All Users, and Brian. Administrator is in the mb.
Brian is 11 gb and all users is 22 gb. double the size. I am the only user
on this computer. Did I somehow double something. I open up All users and
there is nothing of consequence in there.

I did the same thing on my other machine and Brian is 10 gb. All users is
45 mb.

this seems to be the problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried disk cleanup.
One of the TEMP files that Windows uses lives in there.

If it's not that, you've a choice. Manually navigate the folders
using explorer until you find the folder that's using the space,
or download and install one of the many apps that will do this for
you. Perghaps the trial of treesize pro:

thanks for the ideas Dave. I've searched for any large temp files and that
doesn't seem to be the case.

I have tried searching with explorer some but no luck. Under all users it
shows nothing. does anybody know how to see what files are associated with
"all users".

I will mess around with yor suggestion dave for trying an app. I have
questions but maybe once I fiddle arond a bit they will be answered.
