Windows 7 taking up too much unaccounted space.

Go to solution Solved by yuh25,

Try using WinDirStat or TreeSize as admin. Might just be the hibernation/page/swap/indexing file.

To keep it brief my C: drive contain my windows 7 pro x64 bit OS, as of right now the total used storage reads at a size of 344GB, however after perusing through all the contained files (including hidden files) only adds up to about 180GB which includes only a single game from my steam library (Rainbow 6 Siege) which has a file size of 60GB. Anyone know of a way to track what is being stored on my SSD? I know i can't defrag it and i have already ran regular disk clean up as well as cleaning up system files and yet nothing has been changed. This is being stored on a 500gb samsung 850 evo, Any help in tracking down the used space is greatly appreaciated. It is worth noting that i moved this OS using samsung data migration tool from the other SSD in my system.

 

My PC specs are:

Intel Core i5 4460

8gb of crucial ballistics RAM DDR3.

600W corsair PSU

MSI z97 Gaming 5 MOBO

GTX 960 Strix 4gb GDDR 5

120BG Samsung 840 evo

500GB samsun 850evo

1TB WD black caviar
