Missing 200 gigs...

The_blue · 20 Dec 2009 at 16:50

My Users folder 251gig when right click> properties is used. If i add the 2 folders inside (The_blue and Public) the total is also 251gig...

The problem is that if you mouse over them it says they are 30gig and 30.4 gig or 60ish gig total...

Where is the other 190 gig? My drive is bursting but 1/2 empty

Any ideas?

Try WinDirStat to view the contents of the drive, i've always found it to be pretty good at finding the offending data.

spacesniffer is handy for this sort of thing too - also has a nifty graphical interface. Think it's the follow up to Spacemonger which is almost identical but older!
