Hi guys,
i have a 120gb SSD which correctly shows ive got 111gb to use however, at present it says ive got 31GB left but i've only used 46gb . this has been verified with ExplorerXP, and common sense.
i've tried everything to find where the missing 30GB has gone but i have no idea, if any one has any suggestions? :( i've deleted old system restores, hibernation mode deactivated. everything! :(

thanks a lot.

open disk cleanup and see if there is a old windows folder needing deleted. only thing i can think of.

over provisioning maybe... you don't say brand but some use software etc to set it although 30% is a little high.

Other than that you could use one of the many disk drive analysis tools to see how it's being used

I guess my money would be on some kind of system restore type affair.

I use Treesize Pro at work to track down where disk space has gone. The pro version does find hidden folders that even the free version of Treesize read properly
