Greetings:

I am having a problem whereby my disk is reporting as FULL (123MB
remaining on a 18.6GB drive)

ODDITY 1:
When I add up the sizes of the files on the drive, it comes to just
under 13GB. Even adding in space reserved for system restore, this
takes it to 15GB

ODDITY 2:
Running disk clean-up, it shows that it should recover approximately
2GB.....but after running and even rebooting, the available space
jumped up to only about 400MB....and then on subsequent reboot when
back to only 123MB.

How can I find out what is taking up the free space on the drive and
remove it?

Thank you!
