sum of directories does not equal disk total?

I want to clean up my drive and to find out where all the usage was I did a
"Properties"inquiry on all the directories. The sum of these is short of the
total by 48 of 168 gig used on a 250 gig drive. How do I find out what is
using the 48?
Thanks
Andy

Hidden files and folders, system folders etc all turned on so you can see
them?

If so, get JDISK and see where all your space is.
