SUDDEN, DRASTIC Loss of Free Space on Disc

[Guest]

Just did a system restore; free space has gone from 4.54GB to 1.98GB. What
have I done wrong? How can the problem be fixed? Cannot defragment because
of lack of space on disc.

Am using XP Home with IE 6.0

Thank you in advance

To increase you free space on your C select Start, All Programs,
Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp, More Options, System Restore and
remove all but the latest System Restore points? Restore points can be quite
large.

You should use Disk CleanUp regularly to Empty your Recycle Bin and
Remove Temporary Internet Files. Whenever you remove redundant files you
should always run Disk Defragmenter by selecting Start, All Programs,
Accessories, System Tools, Disk Defragmenter.

Hope this helps.

As Gerry mentioned do "Disk cleanup" - in addition there are other files you
amy be able to delete - do: Start>Run> type in "%temp%
