Win 7 Disk Space Issues?

Does anyone else get a loss of HD space when using Win 7???

Been happening a while at first I thought nothing of it, but yesterday I had 11.0 GBs left, I worked with some stuff no downloading (PS/MAX) what so ever, then boom low space warning and I suddenly have 153MB's left.

This has been happening for a while, I had to restart for my space to return wtf is that? Also is their a way to clean out installation setup files when installing new programs, ect, ect. ?

Anything to give me more space cause these damn obj's/ztl's/textures and cages are big space killing mofo's!

What you're experiencing is the swap file resizing. It expands when you use more RAM.

Sounds like your PS scratch disks. Can you set them to another hard drive?

Thanks guys those are helpful options for the future but this (attached image)is more of what I meant.

Can I just delete these installation files, does anyone know or have done this or tinkered with Win 7 & not allow It to create these duplicate installation files? How do I prevent fix this?

Win 7 is stealing my space damn It!

I second this, great program.

seth.

i had a similar issue with windows 7 too....it took the same ammount of ram that I had installed and just sat with it on the harddrive.....not a stress if you only have 4GB....but I have 16 and it ate a big chunk of my SSD...perhaps thats what is happening to you also?
