HDDs used space is way more than total sum of all files inside

[peaceduke]

HI !
recently cleand my disk from some old files but space still used while all summed file sizes are 300GB less , uploaded image
if it were 30GB I would understand some hidden files and all that HDD stuff , but it's 300GB

what might be a problem ?

after the clean up did you empty the trashcan and defrag it .

By the way I uploaded image on Imgur an it looks like imgurs link won't show here
what image hosting for tomsforum to use ?

as for HDD yes I cleaned recycle of course but didn't make defrag . should I do defrag now ?

post the link of imgur here and yes you could defrag .

(fixed your image link in the first post)


Install and run either WinDirStat, or WizTree.

Run as Administrator, selecting only the drive in question.
Post a screencap here.

Ok thank you for your inputs and link issue !
I will try defrag if it solves issue than ok
if not , I will post stats

So , I solved that issue by moving everything from certain folder into another folder
that folder showed me 6 gigabites but when you are selecting files inside it's 200+ gb , first time see such issue
maybe it just didn't like folder name

anyway ... defragmentation didn't help
windirstat helped to see that folders real size
thank you both !
