Title: PC partition uses 26 G of space
Post by: jbutton on December 04, 2010, 09:53:49 PM

And I'm sure I have uninstall all of my games and major software.  Can't think of what is left.

I just cleaned some few Gig size files from my home directory.  Now I still have 19 G of space used.

I checked the Windows directory and it is using 10 G of disk space.  That's crazy.

A fresh installation of Linux uses only 3 G of disk space.

You could do/check the following:
1. Delete your $NtUninstallxxx files.
2. Delete files in your C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download directory.
3. Remove the usual temp files.

simple answer.... get a bigger hard drive.. Problem solved. When you have 1TB of hard drive space, a few gigs doesn't mean much...
