windows 7 - Why do I have 300 GB of ghost data on my harddrive?


If I enable both hidden and system files, and then select them all while in the C:\ Drive, the properties window adds their data up to 220 GB. However, if I right click on the C:\ Drive itself and select properties, I have 300 more GB than what was shown previously.

Where is this other 300 GB of data coming from? Is it something vital to the OS? Is it something that's still hidden somehow?


Answer



Selecting all files and showing properties skips files where don't have access to. Run TreesizeFree (as admin) and look which folders "eat" most space.
