Hard Drive Filled Up
I have 4 Dell computers all running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. On all my computers, the primary (C:\ Drive) contains only the operating system, program files, and stuff needed to run the machines. All data files on all the machines are stored in a logical partition on an extended drive. Although the 4 machines are somewhat different with respect to installed applications, the hard drive on one of the computers is getting eaten up by something (see the attached image - red text column). I am at wits-ends to determine what. Nothing seems out of line with respect to the size of each folder on the C:\ Drive as reported by Windows Explorer. From this, I can only account for about 47 GB of hard drive usage, but Windows Explorer reports that 309 GB of the drive is used. With respect to the problem machine (red text) it is a computer I bought from a refurbisher, all others were bought new from Dell. Is it possible the refurbisher hid some large files on the drive? Someone, please help me.
