Default Rather full HDD but not sure why

I have 13.7GB free of 89.4GB and I was just wondering what could be taking up that space, because I don't have a vast amount of data stored on my HDD.

Would you recommend I run HijackThis to try and get to the cause? Surely Vista can't take up that much space. I have Microsoft Office, a couple of games and some other programs but surely not enough to use nearly 70GB of space.

Any thoughts or ideas guys?

Looks a useful proggy ..... do you know if it works in Vista .... it's not too clear in the description, whether it's not been tested in Vista or whether it doesn't work in Vista.

UPDATE :

Dont worry ... I did a bit more reading and unfortunately it doesn't. -- shame, as it looked a good progaram.

It's not the same as the one spot posted, but after you let it scan, it shows what everything takes on your hard drive.
