Low Disk Space

[sid_b6505]

My C drive has 11.5 GB of disk space. Though after totalling the spaces used by all the folders in the C drive include program files and windows directory, its only 6 GB used, but the free space shown is only 117 MB. I really need space on C. What may be the error in it.

Please help me out ASAP

1.) Goto System Properties (By right-clicking on My computer icon and then select Properties) and in System Restore tab Turn off system restore on all drives.

2.) Scan C: Drive (It'll ask for scheduling the scandisk at reboot, accept it).

3.) Delete all files/folders in following folders:

C:\Windows\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\USER_NAME\Local Settings\Temp

Here USER_NAME is the name of the user logged in the system.

4.) Empty Temporary Internet Files in Internet Explorer.

Include in that your System Hidden folders and the pagefile
