Hi Ghostman,

What does av stand for. I am looking at processes in the window task manager, and the biggest hog appears to be AOL Desktop. Isn't that showing me RAM and not hard drive memory. I just checked again today and I am now down to 230 MB on my hard drive and I know I haven't used 38G.

I went ahead and deleted almost all of my Uninstall folders and it didn't free up any memory at all. Is there a delay when you delete folders you get your memory back later perhaps? The recycle bin is empty and I did several system cleanups, to no avail.

Thanks for your help.

Diane
