Solved Using windirstat it shows 30gb for c drive, but 20 is missing

[xboxhaxorz]

When i used that program it showed about 30 gb of usage
I have 9gb free left but have a 60gb ssd with 59 of usable space so thats 20 missing

I dont have any other partitions or anything, i have used ccleaner, wise disk cleaner, disk cleanup etc;

I have a 2gb page file, i deleted all the restore points and performed the clean ups, this installation of windows included the service pack and i have not performed any repair or re installs on this system

How large is your hiberfile.sys? Check in the root of your C:

To disable hibernation (and remove the hiberfile.sys file), open a an elevated command prompt, and type:

powercfg -h off

, hit ENTER on the keyboard, and then reboot your system.

Try the software recommended here:

See what the largest files are.

From C drive, on Organize tab select Folder Options>View and Show Hidden and Protected OS files so you can see everything that's there, rightclick to Properties if necessary to view size.

Then go through all of the User folders to see if you've missed something.

I attached a photo and i check hidden files cant find anything there

What's different when you look at C drive in Explorer after unhiding both Hidden and System files? Compare it to WinDirStat and TreeWiz.

Sometimes this is an anomaly only resolved by reinstalling. I've been stumped by it twice before.

 

[xboxhaxorz]

its not different, for me reinstalling is the easy way out and obviously solves all problems
but i was hoping to fix this issue

 

[xboxhaxorz]

another note when leaving wiztree at that screen, sometimes it changes
for example right now its showing 18.8gb free and 40.6gb used and if i rescan it, then it goes back to the image i had just posted above

 

[gregrocker]

Run a Disk Check.

Check the System files condition: SFC /SCANNOW Command

Other Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7 to go over your install thoroughly.

i suspected something was up because when i would delete files large gigs it would not free the space
i uninstalled rollback rx and boom 30gb was now freely available

programs suck

Good work for persevering!

Stick with System Restore and Backup Images, which save many troubled Win7's we see here.
