I have an 80gb hardrive, seperated into 2 parts.

Most of the stuff on my computer is on my C drive. However it says i only have 789mb space left on this drive.

Is there anyway i can see how this drives space is being taken up, and therefore deal with some redundant parts.

I have already done the add/remove programs thing, a disk cleanup and used a CCleaner sweep. Still got bugger all space left.

Also i say i have an 80gb drive. However my C and D drive's say they only have 35gb capacity in each on disk properties under C drive. Any idea where the other 10gb is?!

TreeSize Pro is an excellent application for doing this. You can download the eval copy.

The other space could be consumed by a recovery area, a lot of modern computers have a hidden area where if there is a problem with the system the recovery disk can be put in and the system boots from the disk and then uses this area to recover the OS.
