Deleting Large Files
In an effort to clear up some space on my Dimensions 2400, Windows XP, 40GB p/c, I would like to know how to locate and delete the largest files and/or applications that are no longer necessary. Can someone tell me what is the best way to go about that?

Guess my memory isn't as bad as I thought it was - I could've sworn this looked familiar.

I've stumbled across another utility recently which actually adds a folder size column directly to explorer, though haven't tried it yet so I can't vouch for it.

Or am I missing the point.....again......

This will help determine what directories contain large files.

As far as advising you on what to delete......I would have to know what files they are and were they are.
First thing to do is a disk cleanup, and also delete all restore points except for the last one.
