Trying to find files in a folder

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I have a Dell computer and should have 150+ gb. on my hard drive, with 145
available to me to use. I seem to have used almost all my available space
but can't find enough files to account for 98+ gb. of use. The majority seem
to be in "my documents" but when I add up what I can see, it doesn't add up
to anywhere near that amount. Can anyone suggest where I might find all
these files so that I can delete what I don't need? FYI, I am doing a lot of
video editing and am wondering if there are some hidden files that hang on
even after a video is deleted, because the videos themselves don't seem to be
that large. Any suggestions on how I can find what is filling up my hard
drive would be appreciated.

Thanks.

If you are using adobe premiere or something that is structured the same
way, the program creates a folder inside the directory where the project
file is stored, which is where it saves all of the preview files. They can
add up to 90 gigs easy. My advice would be to find your project files, and
your previews won't be far from them.

Just do a "search" for files over 1 gb and you'll probably find many of the
files that are taking up all of your space.
