    Hi there

    Maybe paging ???

    anyway download something like TREE SIZE FREE -- good graphical display of disk space usage --run in admin mode to see hidden and system (windows) files. Don't forget also Internet temporary files / history files from browsers, downloaded files etc etc.

    Even if you've fixed the problem now this is a good utility to have.

    I do wonder how this auto Schedule at 1am cleaned out 28 gigs.
    Like I said, I do not think it did. I think windows was not reporting the size correctly from the start and then figured it out.

My NTFS non-system partition is now almost well defragmented. However this applies only to small and medium sized files. There are still approx 40 big files (> 1 GB) which cannot be defragmented because there is no free single (!) space slot where they fit in. So I need a way to shift all...
