Full HD that shouldn't be full

[Guest]

I was cropping a picture in Photoshop CS3 when it told me the scratch disk
was full. I investigated, and found my 145 gig drive c partition had less
than a gig of free space left. Earlier in the day it had over 90 gigs of free
space left. I added my 145 gig d drive partition to the scratch disk in
photoshop, and the problem went away. Partition drive c was showing the
correct amount of drive space used, but then things went downhill. I went to
crop a photo in photoshop, and got the same error. Drive c was full again. I
went through the drive and looked for large temp files but couldn't find any.
I have done a full systen virus scan, chkdisk, and defrag. I am at a loss.
What is eating up this drive space? I have turned on the viewing of hidden
folders and such, but I cannot figure this one out. Photoshop has been
completely uninstalled using the adobe complete uninstall tool. I tried to go
back to the last good restore point, but vista gave me an error saying it
couldn't. I am almost ready to revert back to xp pro.

Had something similar recently when I was playing around with wmi and
corrupted the store. It was showing a full drive when there was plenty of
space. If you Google for 'repair wmi Vista' and follow the procedures found,
it may fix it.
