    How can I view the size of folders inside the C partition? When I look, there are not file sizes given next to the names. I'd like to view the size of any folder, sub-folder, etc., on the C partition.

    I have SIW installed, but it didn't give me this information (or I just couldn't find where it was located).

    I was sure that this question had come up before here, but I didn't see any thread in a search...

    Right click on any folder > Properties

    Hovering the mouse over any folder should bring up a tool tip type box giving the folder size

    Alternatively use TreeSize Free

    Thanks, Pete. That name was familiar, I think someone recommended it to me before on a prior laptop.

    Anyways, it helped me find an extra couple of gigs on my desktop that I didn't realize was taking up that much space.

    Doesn't look like there's a whole lot of programs chewing up lots of space, though, which was my big concern.

    My C partition is 8 gigs shy of the limit (something like 60), and I'd like to keep the rest of my drive's space reserved for other things, so I want to delete stuff on this partition.

    Thanks again.
