Wrong used space on HDD

08-22-2007

Hi,
I am running Vista Home on my Dell laptop. I have 16GB of data on it,
but the OS shows the used space as 50GB. I have accounted for all
hidden files. The disc is 80GB. Tried CHKDSK and Defrag. Non works.
Pliz help
Dom

Hello,
I got the same problem and realized, that cause is the System Restore,
which is not limited. Here is how to limit :

Hope it helps.
