No idea. But I've seen this reported in the newsgroups
before, where file space just disappears, and there
is something at the bottom of it. Take stock of the PC,
look in Add/Remove Programs to see what software
has been installed, and perhaps you'll get an idea
from that.
Moving a few files off, doing the math, rebooting, and
checking again, is to determine whether it's worth
spending the time cleaning up. If the computer
is using up disk space for no good reason, you
want to fix that first, rather than working on
the cleanup.
I also plan to empty the Recycle Bin as I go along.
Yes, it's possible for a person using the computer, to be
oblivious to it being full. So the thing could be "naturally
full", from just downloading until the computer has no more
room.
That's my daughter, I think. I think she may have some programs in
there that were downloaded in a trial version that has now expired,
but the program was never deleted.
