[gharbud]

wanna try and free up some disc space on my external drive, i know their is loads of .rar .zip. .m3u files in different folders etc, which are using up space, is thier a progam or software, which i can use that can scan my drive and single out all of these so i can remove them? thanks

Use *.* before the file type being searched

Eg: *.*zip
;)

If you are using windows.

Start-search-files or folders.

Click on all files and folders

Then just type *.zip or *.rar or *.m3u etc

Be careful what you delete.
Some files are used for cataloging.
And don't overfill your hard drive , you need to leave at least 15% empty for swap files (don't ask me - ask Google).
What capacity has your hard drive got ?

I use windirstat which is free. It basically gives you a graphic display of everything on the drive so you can see what is taking up the most space.
