Low Disc Space on C: Drive

[DEEKAYPEE8569]

Did some exploring. Found A BUNCH of files on the harddrive with .xml and .back.xml file extensions; XML documents. Many of these files are "0 KB" in size. I want to delete them, but I 'need to provide administrator permission' to delete these files. That's where I'm stuck. 'magine that, huh DoWhat?

Files with a size of 0 Kb aren't using up your drive space.

.xml files are typically database type files. They're probably linked to program(s) you have installed and that's why they can't be deleted.

That or you haven't made yourself an admin yet.

Not entirely correct, but on today's drives and modern file systems, doesn't matter much.

DEEKAYPEE8569, try running something like SpaceSniffer (alternatives). Should give you a visual overview of where all the space has gone.

I like CCleaner

So do I. It works well. The trick is to use it more often than I have been.....I guess

Looked up SpaceSniffer on cnet.com. This sounds like something I need to try. Thanks!
