my computer shows 69gb of space occupied but all the contents of C drive (the only drive) make up 49gb. what or where (if accessible) is the remaining 20gb?
there are large hidden files like hibernation and page files
also hidden folders of windows
there are hidden items that remain hidden even when selecting to reveal them in folder options?

download and run this to see what space is being used, it doesn't install and you can scan the rar with your antivirus if you like

actually that's interesting, ive used this on peoples comp for about 10 years and still can't find a simple program that shows data better, in a pie chart way, i have noticed some antiviruses do delete it but it's that far and few between i never thought anything of it

fsinspect

i like the pie chart and the way you can click on every part of the pie to go further into that bit
fsinspect isn't pie chart
This is what I use for visualizing space:

See how much space you can clear up using win10's "disk cleanup"

WinDirStat is better anyway, and it has a download page like non-viruses do.

and also sorry i never meant to give you something infected, but to be honest even the result isn't gonna stop me using it. as stupid as it sounds i trust it and i get rid of viruses for people on a daily bases, but i don't blame you for not trusting it

if this is the same binary the problem is caused by your packer
scanner is a pretty neat program. thanks for the rec.
it revealed two additional items: hiberfil.sys + pagefile.sys, which now leaves 14gb unaccounted
disk cleaner will remove 3.4gb the bulk of which is temp files + system error memory dump files.
are those not already included in the current totals?

The rest will be stuff in other user profiles that you're not permitted to view.
Run your scanner as an elevated administrator.
>>341400
also note that files cover more space on your disk due to block sizes
running scan as admin revealed 6gb more leaving a final tally of 8gb unaccounted for.
could that be explained with block sizes? I have 250K files and 4K allocation size units
thank you all for the help today

also not that file system uses some space for filenames, file attributes and stuff
