OS Drive doesn't shows correct storage details
Hey Guys,
I have a very strange problem. I'm running Win7 Ultimate on my new pc. I have a dedicated 60GB SSD for the operating system. When i open Windows Explorer, it show that i have "11.4GB free of 55.7GB". If i right click on the drive and go to 'properties' it shows the same info..."Used Space: 44.3GB" Now here's my problem... I checked EVERY folder on the drive (including hidden files) but they always add up to 20.2GB...even when i'm in the root directory, I "select all" and press "alt-enter" for properties, it also adds up to 20.4GB (size on disk)!! WHAT THA? What's going on? (see screen shots) Thanks! |

Hi,
Did you also tally up the hidden files? Some classic examples might include: hiberfile.sys pagefile.sys This can be very large and easily account for a large part of the "missing" 20GB. Regards, Golden |

Restore points as well will gobble up a fair amount of that space...
