    Weird Comp

    So i was having some trouble with my comp. It said that i had 730 gb in my C drive but when i added everything in there together i got 430. Now all of a sudden its down to 471 from 730. Anyone know why? Iv been deleting things but nowhere near that much.

    Thanks

    Erm, a couple of points I guess:

    1) You can't just add everything up that you see to figure out how much space you're using, even if you're showing hidden files and OS files, there are things that are buried/hidden that you can't see without special tools.

    2) Had it been a while since you rebooted? Windows will hold things like temporary update files until the next reboot, but normally nowhere near a couple hundred gigs.

    You can run windirstat to get a better idea of what's taking up all your space.
