I need some help and advice. Back in 2006 I did a system recovery by mistake lol. I however, picked the opition to leave the programs onto the PC. However, with that said it did not take up all my HD space. What took up my HD space was my MP3's and DVD music videos. I lost ALL of them but my HD space is saying it is still full. I did a system defrag but that did nothing. I still do not have most of my space back. Is there anything I can do to get my space back? I also noticed in my Add and Remove programs that my PC said I haven't used a program since 2006 when I did the mistake system recovery, but most of them I have been using. can this be do to the fact that i choice to leave the programs on my PC? Is there any help for me?
My HD space is 80 gig and I only have 7 gigs left. that is a lie though lol.
THANKS!
Any tips or tricks in getting your hard drive space back?

1. Defragmenter never gives you space back, it just consolidates files to make them easier for the hardware to access.
Try CCleaner, it's a freeware program. Run that once, see what happens to your free space. Often times programs leave temporary files or other things behind, and that can eat up space. CCleaner will clear that up.

I have something like that called clean up. I guess I will just have to do a FULL recovery and just re download everything. That will be the only TRUE way to get my space back.drfsupercenter wrote:1.

I guess it is good in a way, then again it's not cause I will have to delete all the crap it comes with again lol. Then again I do have programs on my PC I haven't used since 2006. So it's a PLUS and a -
