Re: Vanishing Hard Drive Space

002.part files appear to have a connection to this link:
http://www.emule-project.net/home/perl/general.cgi?l=1&ga=1&rm=download

I think \PulpFic may from the same source but cannot be sure about that.

I would send all to your Recycle Bin. Reboot and see whether there are any
negative affects. If not empty the Recycle Bin.

I followed instructions from you and Ayush and was able to recover about
2.5
GB of space - much appreciated. When I went to defrag my disk, I believe I
accidently found out what is eating up my hard drive. Got a message that a
bunch of files couldn't be defragged.
The files are the following:
\windows\system32\dlg/temp\002.part
and various other parts to 009.part. The smallest file has 77 fragments at
a
size of 325 MB, the largest with 14,072 fragments at a size of 15.44 GB.
Also
got a file \windows\system32\dlgincoming\PulpFic...
Hopefully someone knows what these files are and if and how they can be
removed and prevented from reappearing on my hard drive.

I would suggest a slightly different approach to that suggested for
restore
points.

To increase you free space on your C select Start, All Programs,
Accessories, System Tools, Disk CleanUp, More Options, System Restore and
remove all but the latest System Restore points? Restore points can be
quite
large.

It is likely that an allocation of 12% has been made to System Restore on
your C partition which is over generous. I would reduce it to 700 mb.
Right
click your My Computer icon on the Desktop and select System Restore.
Place the cursor on your C drive select Settings but this time find the
slider and drag it to the left until it reads 700 mb and exit. When you
get
to the Settings screen click on Apply and OK and exit.

Then run Disk Defragmenter.

I'm losing Hard Drive space even though I'm not downloading anything
new onto my computer. Backed up data and and removed to make space,
but within a few days my Hard Drive will fill up again. Don't know if
my Hard Drive is failing, it's infected, or what is causing this.
Wondering if there is any way to check the Hard Drive integrity or to
see what is actually eating up all the memory.
