Where did all of the hard drive space go?
I wasn’t sure that Lora believed me when I said the Tablet PC hard drive was full. Actually, I was a little stunned last night and have been searching for the cause ever since receiving the notice. After a few hours of deleting Microsoft Money and other unused programs, there was still less than a few GB left.
A right-click on “My Documents” shows 18.4 GB of the hard drive is being used. Clearly this is not the cause of a 60 GB drive being full. After sniffing and crying to anyone who would listen, the time came to look at some of the other folders on the drive. Something had to be the cause for the hard drive being full.
After a laborious search, Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\OneNote shows 29.4 GB being occupied. The Backup folder is 16.9 GB and 12.0 folder is 12.4 GB in size. Ah ha ! The hogs have been found!
Image supplied for all those who doubt the hard drive challenge … Now what? Any suggestions?

Filling Up the Hard Drive on a Tablet PC
The 60 GB hard drive on my Tablet PC is full. This is the first time I have ever filled up a Tablet PC hard drive. Sure, other machines are stuffed, but never full. Once more, the contents are the Microsoft programs and my dissertation. Nothing else sits on the 60 GB drive. When I saw the notice last night that the drive was filled, I started to search around to delete items. There are some backup copies of the dissertation in a folder and so these will be off-loaded but otherwise I’m stuck with having outgrown the drive.
Any suggestions on what to do now? Should I move to an external drive for the dissertation? What solutions have you come up with for solving a filled hard drive?
