Please HELP, MMC "disk is full"

[paul]

I get the Microsoft Magagement Console "disk is full"
error when trying to run anything related to that. There
is still 499mb free on the 6GB drive. If I check all the
folders properties (incl hidden files) and check the size
it only adds up to about 3.5GB but the drive's properties
tells me 5.5GB used. Any idea of where this data is and
which one is accurate??
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!

Thanks so much

You have paging files(virtual memory) that takes up space.

Also windows sometimes has restore folders that can not be
views even if viewing hidden files.

Thanks, that was totally what it was, I decreased the
virual memory, do not know though why it is full all of a
sudden but after I did that and rebooted server all was
good again and 1.4GB freespace.
