I am trying to clean up some free space on my SSD C: drive, and I am getting some inconsistent information depending on the tool I use to look at drive usage.
If I look at the drive through file explorer, I see the drive is 232GB, with 112GB free (120GB Used).
If I look at disk usage through windirstat (run as admin to see all files) it reports 106.5GB of files on the drive, so (125.5GB free).
If I go into the c: drive, and select all files (Hidden and System files, page file, hybernate/etc), it shows 94.8GB of files 93.2GB on disk (I have a few compressed directories), meaning there should be 137.2GB of free space.
All told thats a 25GB difference in free space depending on where I look. I checked for system snapshots using vssadmin list shadowstorage, and it is showing 0 usage. I emptied my recyclebin. I am not sure what else could be using the space. I've got plenty of free space on the drive now, but a missing 10% is driving me nuts.
