Asked By TechWhiz2023 On

I'm puzzled about my C drive storage. I have a 100GB partition, and when I select all the files and folders (both visible and hidden), it shows 64GB in total. However, when I check the partition properties, it indicates that 74GB is used. Can anyone help me figure out where the extra 10GB might be going?

There are also super hidden system files that could be included in that missing space. Definitely check out WizTree to see what's consuming your storage.

You might be losing some space to the paging file, hibernation files, or other system processes. Try using WizTree or WinDirStat to get a detailed breakdown of what's taking up space.

Before making any changes or deleting files, it's important to understand what those files do. Think about whether you really need certain features like hibernation or system restore.
