Can't account for 26 gigs of space on my hard drive.

[Kendro]

Out of 200 gigs of space, right clicking on the hard drive and going to properties shows 52 gigs is being used. But when I tally up all of the folders in the C: drive, I can only see 26 and this includes the hidden folders.

I just reformatted my computer a few weeks ago and the only major programs I have is a few Steam games. However those games I've already accounted for in the 26 gigs that is being used.

The other 26 gigs that I can't find is a pretty big disparity. Any clue what they might be used for?

Even though it's the older version it's also the freeware version and it works fine.

Gives you a visual representation of your disk usage and you can delete stuff through the program too.

I think I found the reason. System Restore on Vista uses up to 15% of your hard drive space for backing up. I still have plenty of hard drive space and there isn't anything to delete as mentioned above because I haven't installed much. It was just driving me mad that I couldn't account for the missing space.

Doesn't vista create a hidden partition for some hidden system files ?

It could well be that.
