Dan Crevier's BlogIn search of a better name...Disappearing disk space on Vista- June 9, 2008 The hard drive space on my Vista machine recently dropped to almost nothing, and I was really confused what was going on. I used my favorite disk space visualizer (WinDirStat). However, I couldnt figure it out. Finally, I found that the following steps cleared it up: 1. Run Disk Cleanup (search from Start menu) 2. Choose Files from all users on this computer 3. When its done scanning (which can take forever), select the More Options tab 4. Select Cleanup under System Restore and Shadow Copies .http://blogs.msdn.com/dancre/archive/2008/06/08/disappearing-disk-space-on-vista.aspx |
