Some thing eating up my hard drive space

[Ramsmith]

Hello,

I have a problem with my disk space in my laptop, every time I delete files and program's to creat more space it all disappears, to the stage that I have no more to delet and only 3 MB left, I am runing windos Vista, I have searched the net and did all the suggestion like diskclean up and no joy, and when I tried to delet system restore and shadow copies nothing happen, I looked at system properties and under Automatic restore points for Local Disk (C) (System) were None, any help would be appreciate it. Thanks

Is your Recycle Bin empty? Windows doesn't immediately delete stuff (unless you press SHIFT + DEL) and just moves stuff across your hard drive to an area dubbed "recycle bin" so until you empty that, all that space is still taken up.

Yes recycle Bin empty

My issue is to get back the hidden or used disk space then completely erase my hard drive, I have not got much on my disk although nothing is left and every time I delete something and generate few MB of disk space it dispeares,
