When I went to defrag my C partition on Norton SystemWorks I realised that the partition was suddenly and unexpected almost full. This is a 20GB partition and has never been more than about half full. Sure enough the Defrag map showed that almost all the space was "Used". But I know that I have not filled this partition, which I keep for system files and Program files. When I looked more closely with Windows Explorer I found that it claimed that I had 13GB in my Program Files folder, but when i explored each separate program folder the total turned out to be less than 3GB. So for some reason I am getting a bad report.
Speed Disk beleives that the disk is almost full, tells me so, and runs so slowly that in an overnight session achieved only a 4% reorganization of the partition.
I've dumped temporary files, cookies etc, and run Clean Sweep but gained only a tiny improvement. I've done a Virus Scan: no problems found.
Can anyone explain the problem, and better still give me a solution, please?
Life...It's difficult not to take it personally.
