i am running W7 pro on a Hp laptop.

i did a clean install 2 years, which took up about 25 Gigs, including programs.

now it is 105 Gigs.

how do i find those 80 gigs on my hard drive and delete many of them ?
Have you installed more programs over the 2 years?

Check your system restore settings. You can reduce the amount of space reserved for system restore points.

Download and run ccleaner. This will free up space that temp files use up over a period of time.

You can also download and run spacesniffer. This will show you exactly what is taking up your space and where to find it on your hard drive. *note: be sure to run this as administrator to get the full benefit.
