Hello, i have a 480gb SSD for my steam games and i apear to be missing some space on it atm, just hoping someone can tell me how to get it back without wiping it, i've got nowhere to keep the files on it so i would have to buy another drive to wipe it.
Basically the drive shows 1 partition in disk manager of 450gb, if i go into the drive and select everything in there i only get 290gb in total and its showing 290gb used and 65gb free space, something doesnt add up. My boot drive has a 118gb partition and im using 100gb with 15gb free which is much more like it.
I've had a quick google and tried all the suggestions i could find, i checked theres no backup shadow copies, system protection or restore points and ive emptied the recycle bin.
Im guessing theres some hidden files or something, but i cant find any. The drives showing and healthy and theres no errors.
Could anyone help me get my space back plz, cheers.
