D: full on Vista - it's not the system restore

[bettyboop911]

Hi. My D: is full. I checked and the system restore program is NOT set for D:, it's set for C:.

Any ideas what's going on that drive? I have not saved anything to it.......

thanks!

How big is drive D: according to Windows explorer ?

 

[bettyboop911]

8.11 GB. It's the small partitioned drive. C: is about 100 GB

8Gb is too small to be anything really, except a manufacturer system rebuild drive which would normally be hidden.

Some more info about your PC would be useful. Manufacturer, model, age, OS version at least.

Start My computer and right cick on the drive D: What are the numbers for used space, free space and capacity? Try the effect of clicking the Disk cleanup button. Does anything change?

Didn't you post this same thing a few days ago? You don't need to make a new thread, you could have bumped it back up.

If you have restore disks, or the ability to make restore disks (which you should do), then just format the partition.

I have not saved anything to it.

So there's nothing on the drive, but it reports as full?
Certainly formatting that D drive would be a good idea then

You can also download JDiskReport it will show you if or where, any used space is
