One week ago, I cleaned a lot of files at my computer's HD in order to free more memory. After the cleaning of my drive D (my memory is divided in drives C and D), I had 3,5 GB of free disk space for this drive.
Yesterday I was working and noticed that that was just 2,0 GB of free disk space for drive D, and I had added nothing to increase the memory usage that much. The restore feature of my computer is turned off and it would cause trouble at my drive C, which is where windows is installed. If I sum up the contents of all the folders at drive D, one by one, they would make 8,5 GB, but if I go to the proprerties buton at drive D, it will say that I have 10.0 GB used. This information (10.0 GB used), is also given at the lower bar when I am at the windows explorer. There are no hiden folders at my D drive as I check the Button to show them.
Does anybody have a clue of how can I solve this problem?
Thanks
Ricardo

did you empty the temp internet files and the temp folder in windows? also run
disk cleanup and see how much that recovers.
also search for a folder named c:\_Restore and see
if it exists, it is hidden, and may be the culprit.
