Vista is hungry for my hardrive

[failurbydesign]

MM...i prefer pizza and beer, but my vista love eating up my space..then randomly giving it back? Example, after my install and all programs installed, i had like 60-65 Gb free. Over the past few days when i check my space it seems to go down about a gig a day. After about 7 days and just about 7 gb gone, i restarted. still missing that 7 GIG...*(&%*(%^*&*&...so then when ui got home from work i noticed i had gotten it back..any ideas?

My guess would be System Restore is eating up space by creating restore points. You can use Disk Cleanup to delete current restore points, and see this thread for information in adjusting what space it uses -

That just means you have a large drive, it does take 15% 🙂
