I'm getting a disk full error, but when browsing all the items stored on the hard drive, the total items don't come up in size anywhere big enough to fill the drive up. Where do I begin to track this down? Windows error? Virus?
 
You are probably not viewing all files, and there is also a selection to view operating system files (Tools/Folder Options/View). This will include your pagefile, which takes up a large amount of your space. By default it is about 1½ times your amount of physical RAM.
 
If this doesn't solve your problem please send again ! Mohamed Farid

Found a ton of tmp files in the printer spooler folder. Now I need to figure out why they aren't being deleted.
 
I think because the windows was shutdown or Hanged uncorrectly ! Mohamed Farid

In Explorer, right click on the drive and click on properties. It will tell you how much drive space you have.

If your disk is full...
1. First you must empty the recycle bin.
2. Then delete files.
