WINNT folder = 2.64 GB ????

[arijitraja]

my WINNT folder in Wndows 2000 is 2.64 GB. Can any one suggest possible reasons ? is there any utility from where i can reclaim space ? i am sure the directory must be full of temporary files.

Try Crap Cleaner (CCleaner)

CCleaner (Crap Cleaner) is a freeware system optimization and privacy tool. It removes unused files from your system - allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space. It also cleans traces of your online activities such as your Internet history. But the best part is that it's fast (normally taking less that a second to run) and FREE!

Use SequoiaView to find which files are taking up space on your hard disk.

With SequoiaView u should get diagram like this tell what files u taking how much space. Each rectangle is a file on disk. Just hover ur mouse over rectangle to see the filename in tooltip. Other info about file is displayed at status bar.
make sure to select Show hidden and system files in options to view all files.

Here is what u should get
*img233.echo.cx/img233/5185/screenshotsequoiaview7vd.th.jpg

Get it from *www.win.tue.nl/sequoiaview/

Larger the rectangle, larger the file.
