hd space disappearing

so i got a new laptop with a 200gig hd on it and the hard drive space seems to keep shrinking on me.

the laptop has vista on it, first time i have used vista on a personal computer.

last night i had 90.5 gb free which seemed a bit small considering how much i have put on the laptop.

then right now i have downloaded or have in my utorrent about 2gb worth of movies/tv shows/r2k clips downloading.

i checked my free space and it shows 85.7 gb free

anyone know what the deal could be? i dont think the hard drive is bad because its not clicking or anything like that...but it seems a lot of free space is just disappearing.

any help? thanks


edit: i was able to free up 2gb by running disk cleanup from the "hibernation file cleaner" not sure what that is..

also this is my first laptop always been a desktop guy outside of work laptops

edit #2: ok so i read up i will keep getting that hibernation thing back but i was able to find that hard drive space by running a disk cleanup on the backup/shadow images by deleting all of them but the most recent one.

is there anyway to turn that feature off...that literally gave me back 18 gigs on my drive

 

i dont think so i had 174 gigs free out of 180 after i uninstalled all the crap that came with the computer that i didnt want.

so if there was a partition it should be within that 6gb i think.

 

thanks i did take care of that but that saved only 2 gb of space since thats how much ram i have..

when i did the shadow/backup cleanup that was in the advanced tab of cleanup
that when i was able to get back about 19 gigs on my drive
