I have my parents old computer and they had a whole bunch of games and junk and i cleaned most of it up so i had more than half my memory. Now i just checked and its over a quarter full! Does anyone know how this happened. I have not downloaded anything on this computer and all of a sudden my memory dissapeared..

Do you mean harddrive?

Did you empty the recycle bin?

Did you create a new account, and leave the old account without emptying the trash?

Nope my accounts the only one on the computer. Yeah its the hard drive and its really bugging me because i know somethings on it. I downloaded that AVG virus scanner and it found 7 but when its scanning i see it go threw all these files that i tried to delet when i got the computer from my parents. Ive tried search and got most of them...is there a quicker way to delete the un used files?
Thanks

Please Click here!, and follow the recommendations in the guide.

If you're still having trouble, We'll need you to use a free diagnostic tool, Hijack This. Follow the instructions in step five of this guide, and post your log as a new topic in the Hijack This forum. It will get a better response there from the people most qualified to analyze logs.

[squirly]

Thanks for the help!

[squirly]

why do i post a hijack this thing?

[gerryf]

You're supposed to wait patiently until someone comes along and helps you

You got this from your parents?

If so, you can delete the following, though they are not your problem

Wrong tool for the wrong job.

Go here, get this:

This will help you to identify wasted space, but DO NOT DELETE ANYTHING. I can already tell you're impatient and that is the surest way to a toasted machine. Just report back.
