The Mysterious Missing 13GB

Robertwhyte · Apr 3, 2017

So on my apps and games section in my C drive it says iam using 18GB, all the apps or games iam using added up to 5GB, there is nothing that large listed there, no where near 13GB, i only have a 120GB SSD so 13GB is quite alot of storage to be missing. any advice on how i can make this visible?

This ^^^

How large is your Windows folder (Right click, Properties)?

What is the total size in use on your 120GB SSD?

Again, its my apps and games folder, not my system and reserved...

it's probably system restore files taking up that remaining 13gbs or playing a major role in it

APPS AND GAMES. 3rd time now... My system files take up approximately 27GB my APPS AND GAMES takes up 18GB with only 5GB showing, there are no windows files in here or restore files, or hibernation files...

Use WinDirStat to see what is using the 18GB.

Thank you, there was a great many mods hidden from sight in weird places.

WinDirStat has helped me out more than once when my drive was getting filled up for no apparent reason.
