on my pc.I have Vista Home and a 329gb hard drive.I have cleaned out 
internet and temp files regulary.Last week I showed 255 gig free space.i 
lose around 10-20gig free space every day.Can anyone tell me what might be 
going on?I don't install much and can't figure it out.Any help would be

Re: Losing Hard drive space in vista   
could be restore points or auto backups.

RE: Losing Hard drive space in vista   
ok i have had this problem with my vista computer too. my dad kept saying i 
downloaded stuff but all i found was like 12 gb worth of stuff. i delete my 
restore points. did everything everyone was saying. it always decreased. I 
showed all files and folders. went into my c drive. i highlightted everything 
and when it was showing my stuff it suddenlu jumped to 112 so i high light 
each folder at a time one was like 101 gb big. i went into it. it was 
actually my users file. i went to my name. then app data then roaming. 
apparantly there was this .dat file going bad. it was in my real player 
folder. it was 96.1 gb big. i delete it and real player and everything works 
fine. i now have 114 gb. of free space. i had to do this by mytself and it 
took forever. there was no right answer. so post it everywhere it should 
help. system restore doesnt do that bad of space.
