Windows 7: Hiden files, recycle bins and so on where did my space go?

Hello

Here is the little problem I have.

I select all files on my partition - right click -properties I have 660gb of data
I right click on drive - properties - I have 690gb of data

How can I get those 30 gb back ?

Also if I do indexing and sompression of HDD I see that he is stuck on some files in d:/%recycle.bin and so on...



Same today with windows, I have ssd 240gb, I isnstall windows I have 148 left... I disable hibernation and other paging tweaks and I'm left with max 180gb... if I right click on C I have around 15-20gb worth of programs... where does my 50¬ gb go ?

Thanks, bye.

First, you need to show protected operating system files so you can see everything.
Control Panel, Folder Options, View tab.

Then install Treesize Free , it will show you exactly where the space is being used.

I also like the free SpaceSniffer

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but isn't some of that used space for MBR & the page file?

check your recycle bin settings, right click on your recycle bin and select properties. Then you can change tne amount of recycle bin dedicated space.
