Where is my disk space going?
OK - I know this type of question has been hashed, re-hashed and re-re-hashed, but I will ask anyway.
Disk properties on my 300 GB C drive show:
· Used space 185GB
· Free 94GB
When I check folder by folder using any number of methods it adds up to about 105 or so GB used. This includes hovering over folders in Explorer, and using a utility called Free Disk Analyzer. So where's my missing 70 to 80 GB?
I would swear up until a few weeks ago I was using only about 1/2 that space - around 100GB. I did not add anything that would make up even a fraction of the additional usage.
I am using Windows 7 Pro.
I know there can be a number of explanations, but I am still wondering if anybody has suggestions. I did a bunch of analysis but with the huge number of files on drives these days, you really have to know what you are looking for or you’ll be slogging through forever.
Thanks for reading this.
