Where has all my hard drive space gone?!

ttyler_00 · 03-02-2006, 04:53 AM

I recently checked my hard drive space the other day and saw I had consumed about half my hard drive. I didn't think I had that many programs so I highlighted everything in my C: drive and went to properties. It showed I was only using 17.5 GB, but when I check the properties from right clicking on the hard drive it says I've used 30.8 GB! I know the OS has some play in this but I thought the OS only uses about 3-5 GB, where is my 13 GB of space at? Thanks for anyone's support?

(I've posted a picture of the problem)
