My Vista Hard Drive space seems to use more than the average space than my Xp machine.
The space used keeps increasing for no apparent reason.

Has anyone out there experienced a similar used space problem?

To Stuart: Your information about Vista using up 15% is very revealing.

Using your 15% number and my 500 GB hard drive, I get 69.75 GB extra.
When I add this number to my 68GB applications and data, I get 137.75 GB used. This is close to what my machine is now showing. This is double my XP space. I called Microsoft today, and their research team is now investigating this problem after they got into my machine for 1 1/2 hours.

I for the moment conclude, that Vista is a memory hog as compared to XP. Thanks for your information.

To C.B.

Your suggestion is perfect. I tried it and solved my problem.

Thank you very much. Even Microsoft could not solve this problem today.

To Jimbo Jones:

Thank you for your freeware suggestion. TREESIZEFREE download shows paths to files for anaysis.

C.B. of this Forum had the answer. System Restore needs to be cleaned out occasionally to free up space.
