    Hard Drive Problems

    I just recently acquired shrink and it has been working great. The only problem is that now my hard drive is suddenly full. I don't think the two are a coincidence. I have deleted the movies I have backed up, and emptied the recycle bin. I have also done searches for the movie titles, VOB, ISO, BUP to no avail. I cannot figure out where it is sending copies of these movies to fill up my hard drive. Please help.

    If you have Norton, make sure you empty the Norton proteceted recycle bin. Right click on your recycle bin, then choose "Empty Norton Protected File Bin", the click "Purge All" right after.

        maybe a tool like this can help you recover disc space:


        Description: Helps you figure out where all that hard drive space has gone on your computer.






        Description: This free user-friendly utility hepls you visualize which programs on your hard drive are using too much disk space. It creates a navigable pie-chart visualization of the space utilization on your computer. This utility is a great helper for when you get one of those messages from windows letting you know that you've run out of space, and wanting you to do something about it. This program will help you determine what is using too much space.





        Description: Ever wondered why your hard disk is full? Or what directory is taking up most of the space? When using conventional disk browsing tools, such as Windows Explorer, these questions may be hard to answer. With SequoiaView however, they can be answered almost immediately. SequoiaView uses a visualization technique called cushion treemaps to provide you with a single picture of the entire contents of your hard drive.
