[QUOTE="walmartconnect, post: 390353, member: 21669"] I was just talking about this earlier with someone. To see what exactly is taking up space in any folder of your drive, there are two applications that might benefit you. [URL="http://www.derlien.com/"]Disk Inventory X[/URL]: This gives you a graphical "map" of your hard drive. It shows you blocks of data, the larger the block, the larger the file (or folder). [IMG]http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w297/walmartconnect/Picture2-3.jpg[/IMG] [URL="http://www.id-design.com/software/whatsize/"]WhatSize[/URL]: This gives you a good old chart view where you can sort your entire hard drive according to file size. Pretty handy. [IMG]http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w297/walmartconnect/Picture3-1.jpg[/IMG] NOTE: Yeah, those are two huge files in my library. Both are virtual drives, one is for XP :Angry-Tongue: and one is for ubuntu :D [/QUOTE]
