Hard disk problem

Hi! When I downloaded Adware remover and ran it, my Internet Explore couldn't connect to the internet. So I restored the computer before I downloaded the Adware remover. Now before I restored it, I deleted most of my music files and video files to have more extra GBs in my PC.

After the restore, my PC could connect to the internet. However, the memory left in my hard disk is far less than it should have. It seems that my PC still thinks the files I deleted before I restored are still there, when there isn't.

The crazy thing is, the property of the 'C' drive says 23.6 GB used, but when I click on the 'C' drive, and calculate the mass of bites of all files in the 'C' drive, the sum is only about 4 GB. The setting is to show the hidden files as well. The property of 'C' drive shows the occupancy of 23.6 GB, however the contents of the 'C' drive only occupy 4 GB. This doesn't make any sense. I don't know any other place where huge files can be besides the 'C' drive.

The recycle bin is empty. Someone please help me, I want to see like a chart of all the files in "C" drive in order of the size, so I can find where those files are. Thanks.

Download and install Vopt...then have it search for large files.


Have a nice week...
