It shows me having 286 gigs of space on the c drive. But only 76 gigs of free space remaining. I only have 27 gigs saved. What could be taking all that space. Please help. PC running slow

Have you checked your Temp file folder - it might have filled up with junk over a long period of time.

Some programs create backup and proxy files which they don't remove once you close the program. For example Roxio Videowave and MyDvd both create proxy audio files for projects so that the next time the project is opened it opens more quickly. If you don't clean the proxy folder out on a regular basis you can end up with a load of junk taking up space. Maybe you have a program that is doing something similar.

Just a couple of possibilities.

What Pad said - but chances are the program has created a storage directory in your users "AppData" folder. Try going into your folder(C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming) to see what program is hogging your storage. If it's not there then try using "WizTree" or "TweakNow HD-Analyzer" or some similar program to find the culprit. Once you found the problem add that directory to Ccleaner and run it every so often to keep it manageable.

One other thing - it could be Windows System Restore. Every time Windows creates a restore point it doesn't delete the previous restore point. That can use up a whole lot of space on your hard drive very quickly - particularly if it is set to automatically create a restore point every time you make a significant change to your system such as installing or uninstalling a new program.

A few years ago I switched off System Restore because it kept on filling up my hard drive - and I'd never had a significant problem resolved by going back to a previous restore point. Instead I use Acronis True Image and made a single ghost image of my hard drive as soon as I purchased my PC and installed all my most important software. If I have a problem I just restore the ghost image and everything is shiny and new.

Check your System Restore settings and find out how many restore points are on your drive. You can delete all restore points by disabling System Restore, and you can also delete individual restore points in Security Settings if I remember correctly. Also run Windows Disk Cleanup - as far as I can remember it will tell you about restore points, and any other acumulated junk on your hard drive.

Finally, if you decide to disable System Restore - you do it at your own risk - but personally I think it is a crap utility.

Good luck.

I've had the same problem last year.
I used TreeSize to find what was occupying all that memory.
It's a small free program:

Code:

jam-software.com/treesize_free/

For windows only.

In my case there were some of my old webcam videos that sucked a lot of space.

I will also point out that only having 27GB of free space available shouldn't cause any system "slowness" issues. HDD space isn't typically an issue until you get to 10GB or even less depending on your amount RAM.

Slowness is typically a sign another issue. Such as the registry being bloated from age and amount of software installed (even if uninstalled), too many programs loading on startup, fragmented HDD, or even hardware issues such as faulty RAM.

A cleaning program like Ccleaner can remove most of the temp and junk files left on a hard drive with a single click. A slow computer can also be a result of a heavily fragmented hard drive. Defragging the drive can put all your files together and improve speed too.

Try Ccleaner it's free and it will clean you're unused registry and others dump files it's a powerful tool so be ware

And then buy another hard drive and install it as a D drive and store all of your data on it.

Keeping programs and data separate is a great idea and will make recovering from any problems much easier.

Also, Glary Utilities 3 is a big jump up from its predecessor... a really good all-around tool now.

In fact, I use both Glary and CCleaner.
