i have 250gig hardrive, at my computer it says 4 gigs left, but if i select all folders (hidden too) in my only drive it only says 150gig total?

i also have hibernation to only take about 1 gig. so where is all my space?

Open Internet Explorer and delete all the crap it's been collecting.

Start with running CCleaner which cleans out your PC pretty good
