I have 120gig hard drive. I start out with i guess 10 or 20 gigs after a clean install. I have 15 gigs left. I have 15 to 20 gigs of programs and downloads. That leaves 50 to 60 gigs unaccounted for. What's the story?

I dl'd a freeware called sequoiaview which displays all the files on your computer as rectangles, proportionally sized. Pretty nifty. now i can see exactly where all the biggest files can be found. Highly recommended.

Marco Polo stole Nietzsche's disk space?

Sounds like you've been downloading a lot of porn.

It's the China connection.
neech's drive is filled to the brim with croy posts. croy is Chinese. Marco Polo went to China.
It's all connected, and Tony has the inside scoop.

Either that or the air in New York is getting low on Oxygen, and I'm seeing conspiracies everywhere.
Uuh, lookie: a grassy knoll.

1) Bastardization of standard units. A 120GB hard drive = 120,000,000 Bytes, not 120 x 1024 x 1024 = 125,829,120 like it's supposed to be.

2) download the free program Scanner. It displays a concentric pie chart that lets you see where all the disk space is being horded. the rings are clickable so you can drill down to the source of the problem.

3) you can install cCleaner to flush your temporary internet cache and temporary folders. Poke around what it does (options - cookies) because you can protect specific cookies to prevent having to log in to frequently visited sites after you blow away all the junk. It also allows you to securely delete files.

This makes me think of Suzie Quatro's Devil Gate Drive...
