Thats alot of space, my system32 folder is only 1GB, you should find out what files and directorys in the system32 folder are taking up that space, you will then have to decide if it's safe to delete.

Thanks for your reply. I looked and found that the machine had come pre loaded with everything imaginable filling the hard drive. as she did not have a lot of data or programmes on the computor I started a fresh and formatted the drive. aftr re installing everything she needs the system 32 folder is less than 700M. alls well but thanks.
