I have Windows Vista Business.
My C drive is around 209GB total. But it is showing 109GB used and 79Gb free.
I have selected all the files on the C drive and check the size, which is around 35GB.

I have little bit idea that it might be the space for "System Retore Utility" in Vista.
But not sure what is that actually?
Please let me know, what can I do to reduce this space used?

Thanks,

664438 2008-05-01 01:55:00 How did you "select all the files and check the size"?

You included all the hidden stuff too?

I just did, Ctrl + A and right click and properties.
I think hidden files will not be included in that.

N E if hidden files are there of that big size then I want to remove as much as I can.

Please let me know, how can I do that?

Shows the files that re consuming space in a nice pie chart and you can zoom into individual folders too.
