service pack 1: where has all the space come from?

I recently installed service pack 1 from windows update. Now, when I go to C
drive properties, I have far more hard drive space than I had before. I store
a lot of layered Photoshop images on a two terrabyte internal hard drive (
drive C ).It is the usual raid stripe array and works very well. Until the
installation I had used about a 1/4 of my drive space; now it shows only
about 1/7. I defrag regularly and keep everything up to date and clean. It is
as though I had deleted a lot of my images, but as far as I can tell they are
all still there. Could it be that windows is giving me false information and
there is less hard drive space than there appears to be? Why would sp1 do
that? Is there any way I can check? I would be very grateful for any
suggestions.

Could you possibly have had a few system restore points built up?

I noticed after I installed SP1, it deleted all my restore points except for
the one it created automatically prior to installing SP1.
 
Thanks mate. That's the answer.
