Is it you C drive or your D drive Jude. Have you gone to 'my computer' and looked at properties, this should give you a pie chart of both drives. If yours is the same as mine the D drive is where all your auto back ups are.

I had this problem Jude and in the end got the PC guy in to look at it, it wont cause any harm if you ignore it as long as you can see it has got space on it.. If it is the same as mine for some reason it was backing up and backing up without overiding previous back ups, but you couldn't see it to delete them yourself. Nothing i did got rid of the problem, he did it very quickly while he was here and it cost me £25. Been OK since.

Just a thought, do you, as I do, have helpful people sending you video clips /downloads,n things either zipped up or as ordinary attachments?
some of them can be quite space hungry, and mine usually go into My documents....or my received files....I have to have a clearout now and again........
