WINNT File Folder Size

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.win2000.general (More info?)

Some things to check;

Clean out your %windir%\Temp, and \Documents and Settings\%username%\Local
Settings\Temp directory. Delete the Temporary Internet Files, and History.
Do you have a disk defragmenter, if not get one and use it. You could use
Find|Files/ Folders and search the drive for; say files greater than 5mB and
then decide if they're needed. Check the %windir% directory for a
$NtServicePackUninstall$ directory, if your current service pack is stable
and you don't anticipate backing down, you can delete the dir. Also check
for the existence of User.dmp and Memory.dmp (both, by default should be in
the %windir% directory) you can delete these unless your going to send them
to the application vendor, or Microsoft for troubleshooting purposes. Other
options are; moving the pagefile to one of the other drives, uninstall your
programs that are installed in C:\Program Files and reinstall them to
D:\Program Files If you have a lot of local user profiles stored, you can
move them, see this article for info on this.

No, it makes no difference, but save this for a last resort.

My System32 folder contains 2 GB of info, so thats where a large amount of your data is. but dont delete anything, since it is crucial to Windows.
The folder name is: C:\WINNT\system32 on a windows 2000 machine. my xp and windows 7 machine is C:\WINDOWS\system32.

But dont delete anything!!!!
