When I check the properties of my C drive I see I have used roughly 11.0 Gig. However when I open the drive and 'add up' the sizes of the files there (from windows to my documents etc) I only get 4.0 Gig in use. The other 7.0 is apparently missing. When I search my system for large files I find nothing. Is this normal or do I have a big file hiding somewhere?
I'm adding up the folder sizes. Most of the 4gig is made up of my docs, windows and my programme files. I've never noticed this till recently but it looks wrong to me. My attention was drawn because I recently started working with DVD files and wanted the extra space to allow for processing. Thought I may have one 'lost' in the system somewhere but I'll be damned if I can find one! I'm not new to computers by any means but I'm stumped here.
Thanks for replying guys...I've found the slippy little buggers! Remarkably the were in the recycle bin, set to hold only 1 gig and not restored by the disc clean-up I ran before posting this thread or, indeed, found by system search. Explain that one I dare you!
What was it he said 'once you eliminate the impossible whatever remains, however inprobable, must............ Holmes or someone.
