Hi,
I have this problem - my backup drive has 240GB size, it is almost full just 6GB remains and when calculating size in Total Commander (CTRL+L) in root for all files and folders selected, it reports 64GB used space. Is there a disk map tool which could localize missing space?
Thanks for any tips!

Have you looked at
Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Storage/Disk Management
That will tell you exactly how your disk is set up. There may be more than one partition and indeed the other partition could be hidden.

May be only 69 GB is partitioned, and the remain is not!
Go to :
Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Computer Management/Storage/Disk Management
and post here what you see!

I'm not sure anyone understands whether you have a problem to be solved.
Total Commander and Disk Management agree on your available disk space. You could view that free space in the analysis window of disk defeagmenter.
or what is it you want us to advise on?

Ok everything seems fine on DMGT.
Check for hidden files by showing hidden folders and even system folders (Be careful to do nothing with any folder just check properties to get what they occupy) If nothing found I woud suspect malevolent software invasion

.. And what does Windows Explorer report?
What does a belt and braces look at what's below the root reveal in terms of used count (including hidden & system files)?
What does the DEFRAG analysis tell you?
