SOmething is out of gontrol on two computers, win XP and win7. Both have lost all free space on Hard drive, should be 250 GB, with 40gb used. Now N360_Backup is 170 GB and no disk space left. Has anyone else seen this? any answers?
I think I have turned Norton 360 backup off on the XP machine, I deleted N360_backup, got back 170 GB disk space, and things seem to be working better. The win7 is too logey to respond tonight.
I think Norton 360 was in an uncontrolled backup loop. It would backup to the C drive in Windows XP, then notice that there was a huge file that hadn't been backed up and backup again until there was no rational space left on the C Drive.
The windows 7 issue seemed to have something to do with Google Earth, though I use Google Earth every day on other computers. . .

I don't like google, because I found several things google had downloaded to my pc, things I had clicked on such as the little bubbles when marking a spot on a map. I deleted all that and got rid of google and was surprised at how much space I had left on my C drive. If you're running the auto back up in norton and backing up your entire system on your Cdrive that would take up a lot of space as well. When I run the back up, I save certain files (documents and photos) to a removable disk. This keeps my free space free of clutter. I have the recovery disks for any programs should I need to reinstall any of those. I bought my pc in sept 2007, 160 gb hard drive and have 38 gb remaining.
