Unexplained C drive space shrinkage

by alrosenbloom . Updated 17 years, 9 months ago

Last week I downloaded and installed Service Pack 3 for Windows XP onto my C drive. After downloading, I had very, very little hard drive space left. I deleted some programs and moved some to my D drive. I had 1.3 gigs of free hdard drive space. I have downloaded only 1 new program (Google’s Chrome browser) since then. Today I saw that I now have 913MG left. What happened to all the free disk space?

I have already emptied my recycle bin and did a Disc Cleanup. I have tried to get rid of temp files.

Perhaps more importantly: Is there a utlity that will order all the files on my C drive by date so that I can see what has been added? I suspect there might be duplicate files from Office and some pdfs somewhere that I cann’t see or find.
