Vista file search

Hi


Its possible that a fair chunk of space is taken up with both Hibernation which is on by default and System Restore.

For Hibernation, click Start > Computer right click the C drive and choose Properties > Choose Disk Cleanup > and in the Disk Cleanup tab scroll down and you should see Hibernation and next to it a figure which is space taken, which can be in the GB range, if you dont use Hibernation then tick the box next to it and this will delete the space used for Hibernation.


For System Restore then do the same as above but click the More Options tab and then click under System Restore and Shadows Volume Copies click Cleanup to remove all the old System Restore points apart from the last one ( do this only if your PC is working fine with no issues at this moment in time )


Also use CCleaner to remove any old and wasteful junk temp files.

This app Jdisk Reportwill work in Vista and graphically show you where your space is being used and by what, do need to right click its installer and run as administrator to install correctly.
