Unknown HDD decrease

Hi guys,
This is my first post on this site so sorry in advance if I posted in the wrong topics.
so here's the problem.

I downloaded a game and installed it. My hard drive was 44.6GB that time and became 41.3GB after I installed it. Then I uninstalled the game after few minutes, I expected that my memory will become 44.6GB again but it only became 43.4GB. It didn't get back to the way it was.

Here are some additional info.
- I didn't download anything after I installed the game
- I am sure that I uninstalled the game and contents even the folder
- my recycle bin is so empty and even use a cleaner to be sure of things.
- I downloaded it w/ bit torrent and I even deleted the file afterwards.

Thanks in advance. I hope this forum will be able to help me.

I believe that torrent is not in fault because I already have the torrent when I got the 44GB.

Re: Unknown HDD decrease

because a lot of uninstallers do not remove ALL the files that were installed. Its very common unfortunately.
