Problems with memory
My hard drive and has filled up and I don't know with what. I have been downloading a lot of pictures lately, but I've been backing them up on CDs and then deleting the pics off the hard drive. I've gone in and deleted every extraneous I can think of. Is there some ghost image of the pics still taking up room on the hard drive?

Thank you Peter. I have tried CCleaner. I'll try the other two tools you suggested.virginia833

WinDir Stat did the trick. I was able to find and delete a bunch of image files from my camera that were on my computer even though Windows couldn't open them. Thanks!

Is this the same problem you had before? Did you try Disc Cleanup and CCleaner?
If you want to find which directories are taking the space, WinDirStat is a great tool. It's free here.
Also, you are referring to disk space as "memory". Normally, "memory" refers to RAM, not the HD.
