Help! Memory going down for no reason!

by AeroXMetalica Feb 15, 2009 11:37AM PST

Today, I saw my memory was at 2.00 GB so I decided to free some GBs by deleting stuff. So I deleted this file that is a Gb and then I check my space and it was 900 mb. So it was a bit weird but it didnt worry me. Then I deleted some more stuff and then I went down to 2 mb!!! Now, its 52 kb!!!!!!

What is going on? All the programs I am installing is towards my other hard drive!

Do you mean memory or storage?

Do you mean memory or storage, because they're two different things. Memory is RAM, and is transitory. Storage is your hard drive or something capable of storing data on a more permanent basis.
