Thank you & your very much welcome

I got fallout3.iso using DC++ at university, some other student had it so I downloaded it from his computer. My computers graphics were nowhere near good enough to run it so of course i deleted it, also from the recycle bin. Ever since then, the hard disk space on my computer just kept disappearing. I used 'moleskinsoft Directory size' to locate where all the missing disk space was going to, and it was in the $Recycle folder. From 3gb, Fallout3.iso all of a sudden was 66.6gb. So I simply deleted it with moleskinsoft. Now my computer is running perfectly fine, with nothing disappearing on me.

That helped! sweet I solved the problem cheers

vista & yes should i delete the $recycle, hidden folder. Since its where all my disappearing memory is

No error messages when deleting without CCleaner. I just used diskdetective and Moelskinsoft directory, both reporting that 36% (60-66gb) of my hard drive is located in '$Recycle' Should i just manually delete it?

Did it & hardly did a thing + yesterday I had 30gb of space left on the C:\ hard drive and after a few hours, Ive only got 1gb left. Its done that for a few weeks now. Thank goodness for the external hard drive. Any other ideas?

Whenever i run CCleaner, on gutmann (35 passes) this file: System C:\$Recycle.Bin\s-1///\Fallout 3.iso always pops up and is never deleted! Any solutions?
