Okay. I am generally pretty knowledgeable about computers. I fixed them for years while in college as a job. But I’ve got a weird thing in Windows at the moment. My windows partition (on an iMac) has 14 total GB of space, of which nearly all is used (minus a few hundred MB free). Yet, when I open up C: and highlight the entire contents of the drive and click properties, it only says that all the files on my HD take up 8GB. I’m thinking that this isn’t including some files, but I have hidden files visible…
This partition has limited uses for me so I have a good idea of what I have on the computer. All of the sizes of the pertinent directories seem right. Windows, for whatever reason clocks in around 2GB. Somewhat high, I thought, but again, it’s not 3.11 Program Files is around the same size and My Documents too. The rest of the 8GB is in random stuff scattered around that I’m aware of…Anyone have any idea where this extra 6 GB is getting used up? I didn’t think that Windows includes Virtual Memory as used space, not that I’d have 6GB of that anyway
