Space on C drive doesnt correspond
Posted by Aura on October 9th, 2005


Hi guys, im not really too computer savvy, but on my C drive it claims that
the total amount of free space I have is around 10 GB, and i have 148 GB
total. However, if you open C drive and look at the properties for each
folder (program files, windows, my documents, etc) it does not amount to even
close to 138 GB..it amounts to more like 30GB. Are there hidden folders or
something, because I need to clean out my hard drive, but I cant find where
all these mystery items are. Thanks in advance!

Yeah, there are hidden folders in XP. Open My Computer and click on your C:
drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and unhide them. You might want to look in
your Temp folders ...
