    190 gb OS (C) partition showing 95gb of files with 15gb free???


    I am trying to find more storage space on my 750gb desktop hard drive.

    The OS (C) partition is 191 GB with 15 GB of free space left. I have checked the contents of this partition and
    am able to find a total of only 80 gb which comprise of the following large folders

    User Files 48gb
    Windows 15gb
    Program Files 8gb
    Recovery 9gb there are many smaller files that add up to less than 1gb

    The total folders on this partition add up to about 81gb yet the drive is showing only 15gb of free space left
    There are 95gb unaccounted for......What am I missing here?

    Run WizTree (free) to see what it shows, they have a portable version available.

    Don`t forget

    System restore

    Page File

    Move your data to the other partition, you shouldn`t be storing any data on C

    Try this WinDirStat - Windows Directory Statistics

    then post a snip for us to look over. To post a snip choose Go Advanced in your reply then click the paperclip icon to attach the snip to your reply.
