Hard drive not showing correct amount of space.

Dronetek · 07-16-2007, 08:02 AM

I had about 3 gigs left, so I removed a few games off my hard drive. One of those folders was about 11 gigs, while another was around 4. After all these uninstalls, I only had 6.73 gigs left. Do you guys have any idea whats going on?

Did you remove the 11 GB folder from another partition by any chance. I know it sounds stupid, but check. A good tool to investigate is WinDirStat.
