Where did my disk space go?

For a long time I kept wondering where all my disk space was going. After all, 6GB seemed reasonable for C:\Program Files\. Today while uninstalling various applications, I got a message that PeerGuardian’s install folder was too big to store in the Recycle Bin. Given my Recycle Bin is 1GB, that’s pretty big.

When I opened the folder I discovered PeerGuardian’s history file had grown to 3.8GB, and I haven’t even run it since early September. That’s quite a bit of disk space!

If you use PeerGuardian, I guess this is a good lesson to clean out its history from time to time, otherwise it will gobble up all your disk space.
