After deleting some files from the root directory, things
that looked like file... with a whole bunch of numbers
afterwards, about 30 Gb were shown to be free. So I hope
this has fixed my problem, but I'm curious to know why
the files would take up so much space. Ron and Eric,
thanks for your help.

This should have said 40 Gb not 4.

My computer shows that my 4Gb hard drive is 99% full. I
have deleted internet files, cookies, temp files, some
large programs and emptied the recycle bin. I also ran
Norton Systemworks defrag (system optimization), clean
sweep and disk doctor. And also have run scan disk and
no errors came up. Is this more likely to be a hardware
problem or a software problem. Also is there anything
else I should try to be doing. Thanks.
