But I havent deleted anything or run any cleaning programs,

My laptop drive had 28.7gb free, which its been at for around 6 months,

I just checked it today and its not 37.9 gb free

I cant for the lifr of me find out whats missing, or what on earth would have been taking up the near 10gb of space all that time.

im a bit concerned now..

Did the recycler empty itself for any reason? Or tmp files cleared themself out? Or IE cleared its cache?

I clear the cache every week, and havent got round to doing it this week yet, I dont use the recycle bin, disabled. and even if all these had data, nothing in the region of 10gb would have accumulated.

I checked the IE cache on my desktop a while a go, nearly 50Gb . But then that machine gets abused, and never cleaned up


10G is a lot of data for files being removed...

i dont use IE, use firefox, and cookies etc are kept at a minumum by using the adblocker extension, I only really surf 4 sites, oof, youtube, ebay and my local classic car forum, so certainly no cache of that size to be collected.

im searching thru the machine now to see if anything apparent is missing.

It`s been defragged by the drive-fairies!
