So taking a look thru my C: drive w/ Easy Cleaner, I found a folder titled "Ddrive" that apparently was a backup copy of my old D drive when I had a drive fail and moved things around. I told Windows to move it all back to the D drive w/o looking inside. Ten minutes later I checked on the progress and it said 36 minutes left, and currently moving blah.mp3. I watched blankly for a few minutes as it continued to move mp3's. Then I realized what was going on.

Before iTunes, I used WinAmp, and kept all my mp3's on my D drive. I probably imported them into iTunes at some point, but they got lost, as I'd been noticing for a while that I don't seem to have all the mp3's in iTunes that I know I used to have. Well I found them.

I killed the transfer, and am going to put them into iTunes. I also want to figure out how to rebuild the library, kill old libraries, and possibly keep the library on the D drive, we'll see, but that'll be in a while. I still want to try to defrag tonight.

Thanks for all the help

Holy shucking fit! I was trying to download some free things from the iTunes store, and it says my hard drive is full. My 70-Gig HD on my desktop. I don't download porn unlike some people I know. I don't download movies like others. I only have a 20-Gig iPod and I think I only own around 30 Gigs of music. Windows and Office and Warcraft III don't take up 40 Gigs. I'm going to run a defrag overnight, but that won't figure out the problem for me.

Help me out here folks. I've already gone and cleared out temp files. I went into my iTunes folder and there were a bunch of .tmp files there too that seem to have cleared up a couple freakin' GIGS of space. I am suspicious that it's a fucked up iTunes library, but I'm not sure how to fix it. I've seen visualization programs for the Mac that allow you to see how much disk space is allocated to different programs, is there one for the PC (Win XP)?

*grumble grumble* I didn't notice anything that looked like spyware when I ran the Task Manager, so I think I'm safe there. What else can I do to figure out (a) where my space's gone, and (b) how to stop gap in until I can figure it out?

Thanks in advance for any help.

ETA: Ugh, Disk Defragmenter says I can't run the defrag effectively b/c I now have only 6% of the disk free (5 Gigs) and it wants at least 15%. *grumble*
