Hard drive free space inconsistency
Okay, just noticed this issue. I have a 400GB partition on a 500GB hard drive, but the free/used space just doesn't add up.
If I look at the drive properties, this is what I get:
Used: 135GB
Free: 265GB
But after making hidden and system files visible, the content in the root of the drive only adds up to 92.6GB
I've analysed the drive, but all my partitions say 0% fragmentation, the second screenshot includes the recycle bin which is empty anyway, and chkdsk returned no errors. Disk Management shows the same 135GB used.
Where's the other 40GB?
Also, how do I delete the boot folder and bootmgr file? It's not my active partition and I thought I managed to delete it using cmd in the recovery disc, but it came back.
