windows new installation used more than 80 GB of disk space - help
Hello,
I installed windows 7 professional 64 bit on a western digital disk that has 160GB. When the installation was done, I went to My Computer and saw that it used more than 80GB of disk space. I enabled hidden folders and measured everything that was in the computer - all files combined including system and windows file do not add up to more than 16GB. So how come it is showing that half the disk is in use?
I looked for windows.old file thinking maybe this is what taking space, but I found nothing.
Also, I formatted the disk before I installed windows7 and deleted everything, so supposedely there shouldnt have been any left overs from previous installations (and indeed there isnt).
Any suggestions as to what is taking up so much space and how to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
