Our laptop started displaying the disk space low error. I used Disk Cleanup, deleted Temp Internet files, cookies, etc., but when I checked on disk space in "Properties" I had less than when I started! Defrag won't work because it needs 15% space which I don't have. I deleted some programs and most of the photos stored on the drive and again, it showed LESS disk space available after that. Is this some type of virus or worm eating up my disk space?

In Outlook Express empty your Deleted Items folder and run File, Folder, Compact All whilst OFFLINE.

Make sure you are seeing all files! Enable Show hidden files and folders. Start, Control Panel, Folder Options, View, Advanced Settings.

Do you have or have you had any Norton / Symantec products installed? Norton Protected Storage?

How large is your hard disk and how much free space? In Windows Explorer
right click on your C drive and select Properties. How much ram memory?
