Postgre Folder on my C: Drive

I got a msg from my computer the other that I was low on space on my C: drive.

I have three hard drives on my computer.

a 40g C Drive
a 40g E Drive
and a 240g F Drive

C i just keep random documents and some program files + Windows
E i like to put the majority of my program files
F i keep all my pictures, documents, videos, etc...

So, Postgre and PT3 are stored on C (for some reason PT3 wouldn't run when i tried installing it on E, i think b/c postgre was installed on C)

So, I did some exploring today, and my windows explorer says that the PostgreSQL folder is using 20+ GB of space on my small C Drive... I'm guessing this is PT3 related b/c I didn't have this problem with PT2.

What do you guys think I should do? If I move everything to F: drive, won't it just be full in 6 months anyway? Does PT3's storage take up this much space?

edit: how do i backup my db in pt3? I want to save a backup somewhere in case i lose everything if/when i start moving things ....

Please help,
mux
