I use a partitioned drive (partitioned into 3 x 4 Gb drives, 1 x ~74 Gb)
with all my system files on the C:\
When I check the properties of the C:\ drive (4 Gb), it shows only
about 270 Mb free space, but when I look through the files, to clear
out some space on the drive, I seem only to have about 2 Gb used. I
have my settings set to view hidden files and the like, but it seems
like I'm using twice the amount of space than I actually am.
Is there something I'm missing, using a partitioned drive? Does it
actually take up more space on the drive, for some reason that I'm not
aware of? I'm getting low on space on C:\ but I have plenty in other
places to use, if I'm in need, but there are certain programs that I
can't change where it allocates space (Excel, Photoshop), and I come
across problems when I try to run or install them.
Any help would be appreciated! I'd like to claim my 2 Gb back, if it's
possible.
