problem freeing harddrive space

H

Honeysweet

Hi everyone..

I have a maybe stupid question..

I am trying to free up hard drive space, yet it seems although I dont have
many things listed when I look at my add/remove programs in the control
panel,
I am still low on harddrive space..and I frequently get a notice saying so.
I do have things listed in my add/remove that I simply dont know what they
are but they have always been there such as Turbo Project v.4 and NetActive
Launcher (what are those and do I need to keep them?)

What is a good way to free up hard drive space, since I am obviously
overlooking something somewhere...

Ive uninstalled everything I think I can take off safely..

What else could be lurking? Where is the best place to look?


Thanks in advance..
Tarcia

Click "Start", "Programs", "Accessories", "System Tools", "Disk Cleanup".

A couple of freeware utilities which might help locate what's taking up
space.

A) WinDirStat - http://windirstat.info/

B) Dfolder Size v3.2 - http://www.freewareweb.com/cgi-bin/archive.cgi?ID=620

Both work well with WinMe.

In addition to the previous suggestions, take a look at your picture files
(.bmp, .tif, jpeg etc.)
