Low Disk Space?

Postby InFamousKon » Mon Feb 06, 2006 4:41 am

Whats up guys...
i just finished reinstalling winxp, updates, drivers, and all the ASUS drivers, and even installed one that i missed the first time around, it was called asus pc probe.

well this thing monitors all kinds of stuff on the mobo, and its showing me a wierd report about my disk space on my slave drive, im also getting a popup that says low disk space,
the thing is that the report also says the drive is completely clean (its all in pink)

anyway, heres a pik so you could see what i mean...

what should i do?
thanx

Are you 100% sure that the warning is for that drive and not your C: drive?

My C Drive has 24gigs of free space, and i just deleted like 6 movies from my E Drive,
that should be about 4, 4 1/2 gigs of space freed up right there, but im still getting a warning saying that i have less than 34 megs of space on hard drive E...

Pretty confusing huh?

I don't know if it's the same as Windows 98 or not, but this is what I can say.

Go to your E: and go to Tools / Folder Options / Show all Files.

You should see a recycling bin name: 'Recycled'. Empty that recycling bin and that should be it.

Again, that's for Windows 98, but maybe XP is the same. I just deleted my XP os and reinstalled 98, so I can't tell you for sure.

Right click the recycle bin on your desktop select properties.
You should be able to control all recycle bins from there.

Actually you don't have to reset everything in your browser, there is a way around this!
On the main screen of CCleaner, go to Options and then Cookies. Now select the ones you wish to save and leave the others for CCleaner to erase!

Hope I helped!
