    Windows 8 Why is windows 8.1 using up 80 GB of hard drive space ?

    I guess I should've said "partition" instead of drive. Anyway, yes, I already did all of that, alas to no avail. Anyway, I went ahead and reformatted again, so we'll see what happens. So far so good.

    Okay, I unchecked the hide system files option, and I did check the root folder for big files, but I couldn't find any. The new DU output file is attached. Thanks again.

    Windows 8 Why is windows 8.1 using up 80 GB of hard drive space ?

    I just reformatted my system drive and reinstalled Windows 8.1 yesterday. The only software I've installed so far is Chrome and Steam (just the Steam app, no games). But for some reason I'm using up 80 GB of space on my system drive. Windows can't possibly be using that much space, right? I...

    Windows XP Can you unknowingly be a server?

    Thanks for your replies. I'll tell him about the Malwarebytes software. Does anyone else have any recommendations? I remember a former roommate used to have this antivirus software that asked permission every time any software made a connection to the internet. I found it to be kind of a...
