alright i'm stumped here guys and could use some help.
i'm cleaning up my computer and i've got this magical 5-7gb or so that just won't go away.
I found a large chunk to be the temporary internet files folder. I deleted the contents yesterday and it is still reading 2.68gb i have hidden file/folder veiwable and OS files veiwable and there is simply nothing in there. why is it still showing 2.68gb?
on a side note i think i may have found a glitch in 2k that results in wndows beleiving more hd space is used then really is. the way the file system is setup where documents and settings is split up for individual accounts seems to add every reference to file size together. for example
you have 2 accounts admin and guest, you have 1 large file on the desktop for both accounts. windows seems to add the file size twice if you look at the proprties of the documents and settings folder. so instead of said file being 500mb os whatever it will read as 1gb of used space.
I hope that makes sense.
