Mysteriously missing drive space
Posted by admin on Oct 13th, 2006
When I open COMPUTER and look at my C: Drive, it shows 69GB of 127GB free. That translates as 58GB used.However, when i doubleclick the C: Drive and highlight the only 3 folders (Program Files, Users and Windows), and then select PROPERTIES, they total 37GB.I am missing 21GB of space someplace.Thoughts?

The machine was only built and installed on Monday. I would be shocked if I have that much in System Resotres and such... but maybe. Thanks for the reply."Conor" wrote:

Add to those files:Pagefile virtual memory swapfile, typically 2gb or more in size Hibernation file used to hibernate system, same size as your system memory Richard G.

It is the system restore points. had the same issue and i just decided to look at that hes what you do right click on your primary hard drive go to disc clean up and under more options there is "System Restore and Shadow Copies" click clean up and it will ask you to delete all but most recent and hit yes and then waalla all you disk space is back.to get it to stop it just disable system restore on your hard drives. wouldn't recommend if you do use this option"Scott Adams" wrote:
