    I checked how much space i had on my computer and it said 53.0 GB. So i uninstalled some applications and also deleted their folders and ran ccleaner and other tools. There was no change in space though. i thought it would give me more space since some of those programs were pretty big, it didnt give me more space on my computer..any thoughts?

    I assume you emptied the recycle bin before you ran ccleaner?

    Would you happen to be running Norton Utilities or Norton SystemWorks, or similar? Norton, for one, has a protected recycle bin where "deleted" stuff goes, until you delete it from the protected recycle bin. The idea behind this is to give you a second chance to restore something you might have accidently deleted. Other programs may have a similar deletion protection scheme. Bazza
