    just a curiosity


    just for my amusement: System drive
    No hibernation file / page file 2.5 gigs / hidden items showing / hide OS Files unchecked /
    no restore points
    result nearly 60 gigs unaccounted for.

    When you select all files on C: and look at the Properties, File Explorer can only count the files and folder for which the user account you are signed in with has permissions to see. You'll get different results signed a standard user vs. an administrator:

    Even as an administrator there are some files/folder you do not have permission to see (so they don't get counted). For an accurate count you can run TreeSizeFree as an administrator.

    I built it as a spare , transfered all files in case this profile got corrupted.
