Run it and let it clean up. You may have a ton of temporary files clogging up your drive.

At the end of the day that is a tiny drive these days. Do yourself a favor and upgrade to a larger drive they are cheap. Better yet treat yourself to a new desktop 4-5 years is long in the tooth for a PC these days.

Already have CC and have used it.....made a bit of difference but not much.

Yes 120 Gig is not big these days.....but for my use, it's been fine. I am kicking around the idea of a new unit, but this one has been doing just great, so there's been no need....if I can get the goddam C drive freed up..... It's really frustrating not knowing what is clogging it up like this.

Sound advice, Snubby.
Just might be the case of temporary files overwhelming the smaller drives that are usually installed and available these days.

Though, ccleaner can be a useful tool, one needs to use caution with this software and set/enable appropriately for the particular issues - otherwise might remove or disable systematic items.

If one has the skill and time, files in C Drive can be edited/removed manually without the assistance of specialty software.
