Ok i skimmed through the thread and i would use a program like tree size pro (They use to have a free version), It will let you dig down through folders to see where your hard drive space is being used. I have used to a few time on work computers to see what people are saving that fills there hard drives up lol. It shows graphs on the directories to make it easy to visually see whats going on...

Here are some screen shots so you get the idea... Mind the small hard drive i use, Its two 120 gig SSD Drives in Raid... I store stuff on a NAS Server

Thanks for all the help guys! 8) Turns out there were hundreds of video files that I had deleted, but were still stored somewhere. Big relief! :D

Honestly, I thought that would be at the root of it all. :oops: It was actually files from DVDs. Mostly movies for the kid. I'm still not sure where they were being stored. I didn't pay that much attention, but they were easy to locate and delete with a program that ROH73 linked me up with. 8) It basically broke down my entire C drive showing me what each MB was being used for. I was amazed at how easy it was and how well it worked.

That's the reason I much prefer to post a question like this here instead of searching the web or joining another forum. I know I can trust the people here for genuine help and humor along the way. Thanks everyone! 8)
