\"drwatson\" file
I recently had my computer freeze, telling me there was no more hard disk space.
Knowing that I should have plenty of room on my RAID 80 GIG drives, I started sorting through files, only to find a file titled drwatson.txt that was 38 GIGs in size!
drwatson is a fault finding execution program that logs any problems within its parameters when they occur. Over a couple years time, my file had grown quite large! (That happens when you have 4 kids and their friends and significant others using it.)
After a little research, I deleted the file, and voila, a normal computer again.
Maybe you computer gurus can tell us computer newbies if that file should be cleaned periodically?
