Looking for application to determine what folders are using up the most space

<< < (3/7) > >>

Hirudin:
I was going to suggest turning off system restore too.

How many folders could they possibly have? I'd go into the folder options and make sure everything (system and hidden files/folders) is visible. Then go one by one to find the folder(s) in the root that is(are) exorbitantly large and start deleting.

Maybe WMP (or iTunes or some other media management program) is automatically copying every CD she plays with her computer or something?

Start deleting?  That's not going to happen.  Can't have her just start deleting large folder blindly.

Hopefully I will get some feedback today as what the issue was.  Again, you never know what a user is doing and the reason i wish I could get in front of the computer.

Maybe if not, you can get her to send a desktop support request (or whatever that is) that allows you to RDP in to her desktop.

And definitely a  :down: on the blind deletion thing.

Tried that but can't since it doesn't have a routeable IP address.
