when the laptop is clean with not alot of stuff on the c drive it runs smooth and fine....the other day i had 1.4GB on the c drive, then outa of nowhere it went to 556MB, i'm looking through the files to see what casued that jump, i haven't DL anything, and i haven't been on the net. i just wanna know how i can search and clean my disk for existing files that i dont want and are taking up spac

thank you
 
In Windows Explorer, go to Tools>Folder Options>View Tab. You will see the
option to show hidden files. The reason they are hidden by default is that
you shouldn't be fooling around with them. If your used hard drive space
went from 1.4GB down to 556MB, isn't that what you are looking for? That is
a reduction in used hard drive space, an increase in free hard drive space.
Try dumping your temporary internet files and cookies. That can free up a
lot of space, especially if you haven't done it for a while. Be very
careful when rampaging around your hard drive looking for folders to delete.
If you delete the wrong one, you're in big trouble.
