4mb Just for cout?

Webbster · 2003-09-11T14:07:46

Okay so, just recently I've been noticing a huge drop in Hard-Drive space, and all this fits in with my programming, so i open my main programming folder (where i keep all my VC++ projects) to find that it totals to around 20mb!! Just for a few (4) console based programs. To test just how weird this is, i created a very very basic program for the console: #include <iostream> using namespace std; int main() { cout << "Hello World!"; return 0; } Okay very simple! Then i compile it only to find that the project is 4MB! im using VC++ 6.0, have i not configured something correctly, whats going on? Thanks Ad PS Anyone providing help please keep it simple for me (i am not very familiar with the VC++ 6 program, just C++, maybe i should get a book lol) [edited by - Webbster on September 3, 2003 12:38:11 PM]

if you dont know how to set it into release mode just delete the debug folder

I had this problem in my c++ class at school..

i resolved the problem by not keeping any of the projects
after i would complete/pass in an assignment i would just keep the source code and delete the rest of the junk
