I'm receiving a message that my Iomega external hard drive is full, but when I look at the files, it looks like I've only used 10%. Is it possible there are hidden files such as backups?

yes,
Enable the viewing of hidden and system files.

Use diskmanager to check the partition structure of the drive; perhaps there's a much larger partition that isnt being used or initialized yet.

Once you have a good idea of your disk's structure, Use WinDirStat to see whats using up your space
