Solved Missing around 74 GB of hard drive space

[antoniopedro]

Hi !!!
After running "Folder Size 2.9.0.0" I realize that it shows two different values used by drive C : 54.32GB and 128.05 GB. (please see attached screenshot below). why is it like that?
I would like to know where is 74GB?
Thank you for your consideration

You need to post a full shot of disk management, then we can go from there.

[antoniopedro]

well as you can see the free space is only 22 GB

You got me lost.
Post #3 show a 150 gb hard drive for (C) drive and 28 gb free. Which means you have 122 gb of data on your Drive (C).
Your post #1
Show a 3rd party program with 54 gb of (other) I have no idea what (other) is.
Try this:
Start Orb/Computer/right tick on (C) and go to properties and show one of these.

Well, LaybackBear, the post #3 and #1 both is showing 22GB free. post #1 was the result after running a program called "Folder size 2.9.0.0" which can give you a picture of how many GB each file and folder is using. The post #3 is the result by disk management (according to AddRam requests) .
the point is: when i check those files in drive it really tuns out as 54GB used so that why i'm asking where is the others.

Well antoniopedro
Have a nice day.

I'm cleaning/move some files from drive C but still have a lot GB that I don't know where is located. (please find below the last screenshot for drive C )

Thanks LaybackBear!

All three of the screen shots are reporting the same thing. The amount you have free, the total and the like.

Not sure where your confusion is here?

The first screenshot you have F highlighted. I do not know why. You want C

 

[antoniopedro]

sorry i didn't highlight it.
well, when i check those files in drive C it tuns out as 49GB used but diskmanagement is showing way more than that

 

[antoniopedro]

sorry i didn't highlighted it.
well, when i check those files in drive C it tuns out as 49GB used and not 124GB.

 

[andrew129260]

Please Look at your screenshots again. They clearly state this is not the case.

And I do not know why you are bothering with that program, because it states the same thing as the other 2 built in tools.

 

[antoniopedro]

but it only can find 49GB

Perhaps there is an issue with the Folder Size program.

If you would like to try a different software to see if it will help you understand your disk usage you can try Tree Size Free JAM Software - Windows Freeware

However, as others before me have said Windows 7 seems to be correctly reporting the information.

 

[antoniopedro]

Thanks alot "SCR", i am going to try Tree Size.

 

[antoniopedro]

"SCR", you are right, TreeSize shows file (RRbackups) that wasn't on Folder Size program.
thanks alot.
