I'm running Windows XP and had installed Symantec System Works on my PC. This also automatically installed Norton Protected Recycle Bin on to my PC. After finding that this whole suite of programs taking up too much resources, I uninstalled it from my PC. After that, I thought that my harddisk free space should have been more than it should be, but from looking at the directory list on explorer, just couldn't figure out what was taking up so much disk space.
After searching for quite a while, I finally found SequoiaView, which graphically presents your harddisk in such a way that it is really easy to see how your disk space is being used, by file, directory, space taken, directory size, etc.. With this tool, I found that Norton had installed a hidden directory with gigs of "recoverable" files that were never deleted when System Works was uninstalled from my PC.
Another great thing about this tool is that it's free.. :rock:
