Cris,
Download & install the WinDirStat program. When you run it, it will
analyze everything on the drive and present you with an easy to understand
graphical representation of every folder on the volume. Anything taking up
a lot of space will be instantly revealed and you'll be able to better
figure out what to do about the situation. If there's something large that
you're not sure about, ask right here and we'll tell you if it's important,
should be backed up or if it should be removed.

The only dumb questions are the ones we fail to ask.
