I believe my Disc Cleanup Utility is misreporting the amount of space I can
free up but I want a 2nd opinion to be sure. My questions:


Is it misreporting?

When I open Disk Cleanup it tells me that I can free up 327 GB (G not M) of
space on OS (C by clearing out the Temporary Files on OS (C. This would
be great however the total size of my Hard Drive for OS (C is 222 GB with
99.5 GB of free space.

I also have a partition on the same drive with 9.99 GB total and 4.29 GB
free and a seperate drive (not in Raid) with 465 GB total and 423 GB free but
I don't believe the partition or the other drive should factor into the
calculation for freeing up space on OS (C


If it is misreporting is there a fix for this?

I have a screen grab showing the above if necessary but i'm unsure how (or
even if it's possible) to post that on here.


I'm not sure if this would be pertinent but I'm using:

Dell Inspiron 530
Core 2 Duo @ 2.66 GHz
Vista Home Premium SP 1 (32 Bit)
3.00 GB of Ram
