1233466 2011-09-25 09:23:00 One of my Netbooks only has 260mb free space on its 'C' drive.
There is no swap file on the drive. Data, downloads, attachments, email, temp Internet files, my documents are all on another drive. The computer works well but persists in asking me if I want it to make more free space! How can I shut it up? I've got the message! I have looked in "God Mode" but found nothing.

1233467 2011-09-25 09:33:00 Either uninstall programs you dont need / use. Use ccleaner and remove temp files. Disable system restore. Thats probably where most of it has gone. Or get a bigger hdd Speedy Gonzales (78)

No need - it doesn't need to use more space. All temp files are on another drive and system restore is off.
I am being bloody minded!

If you have all other files elsewhere and its only the OS on the drive, time to get a larger one for sure. A few more Windows updates and your remaining space will be gone.

1233474 2011-09-26 11:21:00 Turn off system restore on your C: drive which will also remove your restore points but should free up some space.
Best to get a bigger drive though and clone the original to it.

No need? Then why ask in the first place? It will get worse, whether you avoid installing on it or not, because of what Windows itself does. I'd swap the drive out for a bigger one.
