I have a wired issue as in below screen shot.

from within C drive, select everything and view from properties, total is around 40GB. however, if i view from "This PC", suppose to see 60GB free, but only 33GB free. where are the other 30GB?

any idea?

  • Above relates to SD card though some answers from there also answer the question; another related question see this http://superuser.com/questions/585305/size-of-the-disk-is-more-than-the-size-of-the-files-on-the-disk – Rsya Studios Jan 06 '15 at 03:08

Selecting all files and showing properties skips files where don't have access to. Run TreesizeFree (as admin) and look which folders "eat" most space.

Thank you guys, finally i recover my disk space by disabling "hibernate" of windows 8.1, i do not need the hibernate cache, since my OS disk is a SSD, should be faster enough for a refresh boot
