[QUOTE="Murlyn, post: 21191, member: 184"] Hmm.. very interesting.. maybe you can download "Where is my disk space?" install it.. and then right when you start your machine copy and paste the information from the program into a text file.. save it, close the program.. and then go about your normal day.. then at the end of the day when your hard drive is full of who knows what.. run the program again and see if you can find the differences between the two files and then you'll see where the bulk of your space is going. Or you can do a backup with a program that will allow incremental backups in the morning.. then in the afternoon.. do an incremental backup for all those files that have changed on your system and then take notice of what those files are. Or you can click on your desktop and hit Command-F which brings up a search dialogue box and search for all files that have a modified or creation date since this morning when you started your computer... I hope some of these will help :) [/QUOTE]
