    Hello,

    I'm running Windows Vista on a desktop PC with a 160gb hard drive.

    'My Computer' reports that there is a little over 20gb of 'free space'.

    I know this is inaccurate. There are only a few programs installed and I store my data on an external hard drive. I reckon the true amount of free space to be nearer 100gb if not more.

    Anyone had this issue and/or know of any freeware that could 'free up' the free space that is currently being incorrectly reported as used ?

    Many Thanks

    Splendid, System Volume Information was using about 60GB. Reduced this to 10GB.

    Many Thank.
