Recently reformatted HDD when I got a new motherboard. After redownloading a few games and attempting to add some new ones, I've realized that my HD is full. Strange, seeing as how I have nowhere near the volume of content I did before the reformat(I haven't even moved my music on the newly formatted drive yet. WinDirStat and Treesize Free show that it is also sitting in the less than 100 GB of total space range. I've tried clearing System Restore points, but it hasn't helped. What is going on?

Updated: Found solution. When I reinstalled my OS, it promptly decided that all it needed was 100 GB, leaving the other ~900 GB to sit in unallocated memory. Partition wizard allowed me to pull that free floating memory onto my C:, and now everything is back to normal. In case anyone ever has a similar issue, give that a shot.
