Its tough to say cause we're not sure what it is that's clogging the drive. You can try stopping the SYSTEM RESTORE service, which will free up a lot of backup space. But, doing so will prevent you restoring your system if something should go haywire in the registry. For the record, I have my SYSTEM RESTORE disabled, as I don't really need a backup done. To disable SYSTEM RESTORE, go to START > and then right-click on MY COMPUTER and select PROPERTIES. Then select the SYSTEM RESTORE tab. Place a check mark where it says TURN OFF SYSTEM RESTORE ON ALL DRIVES. Then APPLY and OK. ---Troth ----- Original Message ----- From: Evelyn To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, August 29, 2003 4:20 PM Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Help It does mot clean a thing....

The weird thing McAfee tells me I am clean but my disk is FULL. This is the first time I get hit like this. When I am clean all the duplicate files. Do they go away or do I have to do it myself???
