Thank you to everyone that made the effort to help me. What I ended up
finding was that my c:\_Restore\temp folder contained over 15,582 *.cpy
files. 2640  for almost 3.5GB of space from Christmas day alone. A microsoft
knowledge document led me through the steps to safely remove all those files
returning my computer hard drive to normal
