Why is my OS installation so large relative to sum of files?
I performed a fresh install of Windows 7 on a SSD. Added a bunch of apps, and moved some of the user folders onto a data drive.
Used space on the SSD shows as 65GB
Sum of files and folders (with operating system files unhidden): 51.5GB
1. What accounts for this difference? It's not the hibernation file or paging file because I can see those.
2. I can see hiberfil.sys is taking up 12.5GB. If I don't want to use hibernation, can I get rid of this?
