I have an issue with my C: Drive. There seems to be something clogging up my hard drive. I have a 20GB capacity. However, I am barely using half of that. But it says I only have about 200MB left of space.

The only thing I can think of is that somethign is clogging up my hard drive through some internet connection.

Any ideas as to how I can solve this ?

More info needed. What OS? Where are you getting the size readings?
 
I am running Windows XP Professional
Service Pack 2

I am getting the readings from My Computer. As soon as I click on C Drive, it shows the stats. I have 20.5GB capacity and only about 500MB remaining.

Ran Norton a couple times, came up with nothing.
 
It could be the system restore option, I did a clear up of sys restore before and it cleared 13GB from my PC.

You chould try that.

Open Disk Cleanup in System Tools
Click on the More Options Tab
And in the sys restore frame click cleanup
And then yes and that should free up some memory.
