    250Gb SSD showing as full when using only 60Gb..?


    Hi

    I have a 250Gb Samsung EVO 850 that reports it just has a couple of gigabytes spare (edit 8Gb after removing some stuff) when i am using only 60Gb as per WinDirStat - i only realised when i turned on the comp and google drive said its runs out of space

    I have everything off, 1Gb Page-file (8Gb RAM) - hibs OFF, screenshot of WDS and Disk Management below - 10% OP accounts for the unallocated space

    Ive ran chkdsk /f but no change
    I ran SFC /SCANNOW and it found corrupt files it could not fix and the text log is 166Mb

    can anyone help please?

    edit: I have noticed that recycle bin shows that i still have 209Gb available..??
    SMART shows all fine, good health with 2.9Tb Usage

    thanks

    Try Tree Size Free from the above link. It might give you a better idea than WinDirStat.

    thanks but it was quicker and easier just to do a secure erase and reinstall - all sorted

I'm not sure if the hard drive is failing, its an older IDE drive. I just formatted the drive and disk manager only shows it with 26.9GB and no other unallocated space. Is there any way to reclaim the lost space or is this a typical sign of a drive on its last legs?
