Losing GB
 

I bought a Dell Inspiron 1525 with windows Vista about two weeks ago and I have noticed I am losing a lot of hard disk space. The laptop came with 220GB.
Major space used:
Dell disks, Norton 360 ect.:20GB
TrackMania: 503.7MB
MSN: No more than 200MB
Ran Disk Defragment lost 2GB

Now I have 185GB remaining and it keeps decreasing over time without me saving anything. I don't want to run a disk cleanup because some people report of it crashing their computer. Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

One possibility is check to see how much is being taken up by automatic back-ups.

I would agree Vista always like XP makes rollbacks or backups and that could be taking space up.

You making sure you empty your recycling box ? How much space is allocated to it ?

Check to see if Norton 360 is protecting files on your computer, if the protection is on, sometimes it keeps the deleted files in a system folder called recycler even after deletion. It happens alot with my USB drive.

Also the fact that it's Vista and Vista just really really sucks.
