 Hard Disk Gobbling Just found a file called: c:\Windows\System32\Logfiles\WMI\trace.log that was 38 Gb in size! Turns out it was created by an aborted run of Bootvis from Micro$oft, and was left open. If you have this file, run Bootvis again to close it and then delete it, as it grows without bounds!

| Hard Disk Gobbling I should think you're whole hard disk will be running faster now, cause that file must have caused some major fragmenting.

| Hard Disk Gobbling Would it be on Vista 64 and if yes, how do I find out if I have it going? |

| Hard Disk Gobbling As far as I can see, it will only be there if you have ever run BootVis, so I doubt it. You could search for any huge files though!

Hard Disk Gobbling
How big is your hard drive? Do you have a lot of movies or photos? Simple option is to buy a bigger hard disk. Vista 64 natively takes up very little more space then its 32 bit cousins.

| Hard Disk Gobbling Doesn't Vista keep mirroring things and gobbling disk space then? (ie, System Restore)
