Damn Vista
Lately my computers hard drive, all 220GB of it has been filling up. I thought 'hmmm, must be my games' deleted all of them and voila 70GB of free space. I go to sleep happy and wake up the next morning, go on my computer and lo and behold 55 MB of free space. So I was getting really angry at my computer at this point. I deleted my downloads, 1GB, deleted my old work, deleted everything I could find. And yet my space kept on filling up for some reason. So finally I went through EVERY SINGLE ONE OF MY FOLDERS looking for what was doing this.... And eventually I found it. This one file was taking up over 110GB of space somehow. My first instinct was to just delete it, but that might have been a bad idea, who knew what it did. So I looked online, and do you know what it was? It was damn Vista's error reports..... Apparently it keeps every single one and stores them somewhere. Apparently nobody thought of putting a max file size so my space was just constantly getting smaller and smaller. I deleted the file and suddenly I am barely using half of the space I have. This was really frustrating as I had just deleted a to of stuff. Well hooray to windows 7.

Wow... this is an example of where technology might need to advance a little bit... If you hadn't found the file, it might have been an even bigger problem... In the future, a problem like this may not exist, being an example of an advance in technology.
