I switched on my computer this morning and decided to do a disk defragment (as you do). However, when I analyzed my hardrive, I discovered it looked like this.

Now, I can guarantee you that I have not used that much space. Infact, last time I checked, it was around 78% free space. Somewhere, something is taking up all this space.

Ive done a full virus scan which didn't find anything, and am currently backing up all my data (which will take ages). Whilst writing this, the amount of space on the disc has actually gone down 20mb or so, for no apparent reason. I did use a eraser program to delete a file yesterday, but I can't see that doing that amount of damage, unless its somehow written over my hardrive with 0+1's?

Can anyone help, as I actually have no idea what to do.
 
Thanks for all the suggestions guys, but for some reason, its sorted itself out after it finished defragging the drive. :)
