Windows NT 4.0 on desktop. I have a 4.0 GB hard drive and yesterday had 1 GB disk space left. Today, I have 0. Even when I delete temp files, Internet cache, and desktop programs, I continue to lose disk space. No viruses. Any suggestions?

Did you remember to clear up the recycle bin?

Also, did you download anything recently. You may want to do a Find and search for files created/modified since your free disk space changed from 1G to 0.

I agree with answer #1 about emptying your recycle bin, it actually takes more space in your recycle bin than before you deleted it.

Also, look at how much memory is in use. If you have a process that is gobbling memory and not releasing it, Windows will dynamically expand the virtual memory which of course is your harddrive space.
