OP OP M matthewamzn Beta member Messages 3 Sep 7, 2005 #6 It happened after I downloaded bitcomet yesterday. I downloaded one album (about 250mb). I've also got about 10 gigs of musics and videos. I can't even defrag it because I don't have enough space. But I can't find anything large enough to delete.
