low disk space (Vista)

[ming]

Hi all.

I'd like to query something on Vista. It just so happened that Vista or something has eaten up over 4GB of disk space within 10mins of me rebooting my pc.
Does anyone know where the temp files are now kept because I can't see anything in the app folder under my user profile. Also, what could possibly be needing more than 4GB of disk space after start up? This happened before and happens infrequently.

Currently have less than 3GB of disk space available to use when usually there's around 8-10GB free.

Try running ccleaner. That should find a good bit of stuff for you.
