Also, I suspect the original cause of losing space might have been System Restore. - particularly, backing up that giant BUILD folder. I had done a system restore as the PC was acting flaky, the build folder disappeared after the restore. I partially recovered the build directory from a Previous Version, but ultimately copied everything over from an HDD since Previous Versions didn't restore much. During this time, I was pretty much out of disk space and even had to move stuff off to get enough space to bring the BUILD folder back onto the SSD. | |

| Sep 5, 2018 at 2:51 | comment | added | user484603 | Build is a game for which I develop content. I have a duplicate on a spinning disk and it is about the same size. It's been on this disk since I freshly installed Windows last December and hasn't changed size much (guessing maybe 10Gb or so) since the installation. BTW, ADS are Alternate Data Streams - ways of hiding data on disk. Not many of those, though. Disk is a Samsung 850 EVO SSD purchased new at Microcenter. | |
| Sep 5, 2018 at 2:47 | comment | added | Ramhound | I assume you are aware of a 153 GB folder named build, without a score of disk management, my guess you have multiple partitions. | |

Added image plusresults from ADS scan

| Sep 5, 2018 at 2:36 | comment | added | Ramhound | Looking for a screenshot of WinDirStat ran as an Administrator. I have absolutely no idea what "ADS". You should also provide a screenshot of the Disk Management. What is the make and model of your SSD? Did you purchase the SSD new or was it purchased used? | |

| Sep 5, 2018 at 2:07 | comment | added | Ramhound | Edit your question to include the information from WinDirStat, when it was running as an Administrator, did you figure out the reason you initially ran out of space? | |
| Sep 5, 2018 at 2:04 | comment | added | user484603 | It was bought and installed in December. I hadn't paid close attention to disk space, but I do recall the first few months free disk space was virtually unchanged, about 170Gb free. | |

| Sep 5, 2018 at 1:56 | comment | added | Ramhound | How new is the SSD? What exactly is your question? If you have run WinDirStat, as an Administrator, what did it indicate was using your space? | |
