Just made the startling discovery that I have a grand total of 946MB of free space on my hard drive. I am currently compressing the drive to free up some space but that is saying it is going to run for 15 hours. Surprisingly, the only real issue I have had is that YouTube videos lock up my computer which I assume could be tied to that lack of hard drive space. (Will hopefully find out soon.!

In the past, I have used CloneSpy on another computer with some success, although I am reluctant to add anything more to my hard drive until I free more space up. So what space CAN I free up? I don't download a lot of programs on my computer, nor do I have a lot of video or audio files. (Exceedingly few.) Probably my greatest sin is printing to pdf but even that I don't THINK I do to excess.

But what I do, though, is relent to computer paranoia. So if there is a built in an option to save my system/program/whatever files, if asked I probably allow for more space than less when asked how many or how much space to allocate. I am running a Compaq Evo Desktop D510 w XP Professional. I have not loaded any additional program to back anything up on my hard drive, but suspect there might be some built in programs that are saving lots of stuff that I don't need to save. I know that is not a lot of information to go on, but I just have this funny feeling there is something built in that is eating up my hard drive space besides programs and saving to pdf.
