Well its not really a hard drive problem, but hey. When I uninstalled a program off my Z: drive and before that I had like 12 gigs left on my C: drive, then when I uninstalled the program my C: drive fell down too 231 mb, anyone have any idea why?
This has never happend. And if that Idiot artislife90 tells me to buy a mac and this won't happend anymore, he can go to ****.... Hmmm, im thinking disk defrag, if that does not work, im still open to ideas. |

It's not a matter of fragmentation. Defragging a hard drive doesn't make more space; it simply places files in contiguous blocks, so they are supposedly faster for the computer to access (but in reality, you don't get a huge performance boost off of defragging a hard drive, anyway).
Only thing I can suggest is that maybe you copied over some extra files, or something large you are unaware of got installed. |

^^ yea, defraggin won't do anything.
What program did you uninstall? some programs will dump stuff into your registry when they uninstall...but then again that's really not your problem. More details would help though |

Well its on a 500 gig, partitioned into my C: and Z: drive - 250 gigs each. The program was Americas Army, that damn game.

Let's not turn this into a Mac vs. PC debate; there are several threads in which those topics can be discussed already.
