So as some of you may know, I formatted my SSD and re-installed windows, but then this has started happening..
When I installed windows and looked at my drive it said that 40GB was used, and windows is only 20GB, but for some reason until it updated it was only 12GB...
And now I only have 2GB and but i've only used about 30GB..
My folders are:
Intel - 7MB
MSOCache - 400MB
Perflogs -0MB
Program Files - 700MB
Program Files (x86) -1.93GB
Program Data - 200MB
Users - 7.4GB
Windows - 20.3GB
So that obviously doesn't equal anything near 57GB/59GB used..
http://sourceforge.net/projects/windirstat/ Use this exlploring utility. You can see everything on the selected drive/ partition and you can also delete useless stuff. Just be sure to ask google when you're not sure if it's safe to delete something or not.
Thanks guys, it was the paging file and hibernate file and I downloaded the program that Dubmental suggested but it says that the files are 'in use' so i can't delete them..
As was said before, "powercfg –h off" into command prompt will get rid of the hibernation files and free up space. As I understand it, those files can also put a reserve on some of your RAM capacity too and cause a general slow down, so their removal is often the first thing carried out by people doing fresh installs.
