Just a quick note to those who use Google Desktop for WIndows: it eats up hard drive space like nothing I’ve seen! I ran out of disk space on my system partition yesterday while running a large video convertion task, and after some searching I found the culprit – Google Desktop creates an entirely different index for each user in your machine. I use my laptop in different customer’s networks (and different AD domains), so I have about five user accounts in my machine. Each index was taking up about 2 GB. In my 30 GB system partition, you can see how that will quickly show up… So a word of warning, if it feels like you should have more disk space than you do, check out your Google Desktop index at C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Google Desktop.
