This is because now only I got this problem and the solution, luckily. I had to delete the temporarily offline files and all offline files stored in the network. this actually occupies space in hard disk. Go to control panel->offline files->do whatever is appropriate to you. additionally, change the limit of the offline files space usage to avoid future suffocation. @ Stuart Gregg queried on July 8th, 2007

I have an hp laptop with vista sp1 i initially had about 198gb free space and ever since it has been reducing every time i log on to windows.i did not install any big file. but i uninstalled a few previously installed ones. Now i find that i have only 166gb free. Even when using the pc it reduces i.e. it was 168gb when i loged on but now only 166 i didnt do any thing it keeps reducing no virus detected no use using disk cleanup. the funny part is in C If i select all folders including hidden it shows 195ggb free! help see i have a similar problem.

Here is the solution for that vista getting hungry and eating your hard drive dilemma. Just run into your services and kill the damn Shadow copy service...Its set to manual but just kill it totally by disabling the service. Took me a million years to figure it out but I did it and now it works like a charm... Happy slaughtering of your shadow copy service...hehe. Hey guys.

I tried Vista for a month and had tons of problems including this one. Yes, everything can be tweaked, but what's the point of having to work and tweak to end up with something slower than XP? As for the aero, it was nice, but after 2 days I hardly noticed it anymore. And dx10 was the biggest loss, but even that wasn't a big deal. This is one of the reasons I still use XP.
