Thanks It could be from System Restore creating restore points. Check to see how much space is being used by System Restore. System Restore - disk space Hope this helps, Shawn |

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Deleting Files and clean space, yet I keep losing room?? Hi Dick, Sorry, a OEM (ex: HP) brand computer may have a feature to create restore points in their Recovery Manager program. You will need to look through your computer's documentation for how to use or disable it. Quote: Originally Posted by Dick D.

| Vista x64 Ultimate SP2, Windows 7 Ultimate x64 | Re: Deleting Files and clean space, yet I keep losing room?? I could not think of the one I have seen this with before. It may have been just an option for it to store the Vista restore points on the recovery partition though instead. Here is an example with the HP Recovery Manager for it to make backup files.

I think you should drop the contested statement from your cache of replies.

| Vista 64 Home premium | Re: Deleting Files and clean space, yet I keep losing room?? Well, Brink I thank you for your advice, weather it was perfect or not. It's always nice to see someone who is willing to help regardless of weather they are right or not. However I fear the problem is far worse  I think I may have some sort of virus as I have lost 2 gig in approximately 5 minutes. The only thing which I have done is search for corrupt files. |

To be help be safe, run a very thorough antivirus and anti-malware scan before you backup your data and after you reinstall Vista and the backup. |
