| Guest | Shouldn't I have more Free Space? It seems like my files are somehow taking up more room on my drive than what they should. Here's the situation. My C: drive indicates that I my "Used Space" is 113 GB, but when I select all the files and folders (even the hidden system files/folders) and right click to view properties, I see that the selected files take up about 62 GB. Where's the remaining 51 GB coming from? |

| Guest | Re: Shouldn't I have more Free Space? I figured it out. Turns out it was caused by Vista's previous version feature. I had copied a large number of files to the wrong location and then moved them to the proper location. The previous version feature must have saved a copy of those files. Since this is a new computer, there really isn't any danger in deleting the previous versions (under the "more options" tab within the "disk cleanup" window). Once I did this, about 40 GB was returned to me. |
