"Wasted" disk space?

[Guest]

Hi,

I have a desktop with 2 partitions. My C: partition (4 GB) is low on disk
space.
I have moved the page file to D: to free up disk space. It helped for some
time, but now i have low space again. I checked the sizes of different
directories on C: and found out the the size of the C:\Windows directory is
2.82GB size. However, when i enter the Windows directory and measure the
sizes of all sub-directories and files in it, i get that the total size is
only 1.17 GB. I am clueless why there is such a difference in the sizes. I
should also mentioned that i view the hidden directories, so size should
match in two cases.

Any ideas what can cause the difference sizes? It looks like that more 1.5GB
is "wasted" causes the low disk space problem...

Thanks,

Barak

Have you tried deleting all but the last restore point and generally doing a
disk clean-up. Right click on your C:\ drive go to properties, there you
will see disk clean-up. Under the options tab you can delete all but the
last restore point.

I did, it freed up 45 MB. There is still 1.5 difference...

Any other ideas?
