Help! My C Drive memory is going down for no apparent reason!! I have deleted all unused programs and I just dont know what's going on. At the moment I am down to 13.2MB on a 9.66G drive. HELP!!
How long has it been since you went to Internet Options in Control Panel and on the General Tab clicked Delete Files? If you have not done this for a while, it may take a while to "haul the Trash". There is also a tab to Delete Cookies, but try the Adaware to clean out the malicious ones first. You can also click settings View Files and delete some of them manually. There is a particularly persistent ad service called Omniture which even Adaware does not pickup and delete. It puts in cookies that start 1shz2prbmdj and after a long string of gibberish at the very end omniture.com. The long string of garbage is apparently the reason Adaware does not pick it up on its scan. I cleaned these out manually yesterday and they are back, as I just looked.
Click Start/All Program/Accessories/System Tools/Disk Clean Up. Make sure all boxes are ticked and click OK. You want to perform these actions say yes. This may take some time to complete.
Next repeat Start/All Program/Accessories/System Tools/Disk Clean Up and click tab with more options. On the bottom it will say System Restore Cleanup. Perform this action and see if this helps.
