[RESOLVED] what's taking up so much space?
I've got an Acer laptop (Spanish) with 26.7 GB of hard disk.
Recently, I've been going a bit crazy downloading tunes and films.
now I'm getting warning messages that there is not enough space. So, I uninstalled all the programmes i don't use and got me a load of free space, Can't remember now how much it was but it was enough. So, i was surprised when i got another warning a few hours later.
I figured it must be the films i'm downloading, so I uninstalled Emule. never actually got to watch any films.
There's nothing more in control panel that i want to uninstall and it seems to me there's nothing really big in there. I had atotal of 2gb of tunes which i deleted, and this hasn't shown up as free space, even after restarting.
So... my question is, where's all my disk space gone? Does anybody have any suggestions?

just started a defrag. But that just moves things around.
