Okay, the title might be a bit confusing, but let me explain. I'm about to panic here, so bear with me. I previously (yesterday) had over half of my 1TB hard drive filled up, mostly game files and programs. I just turned my computer on a bit ago and all of a sudden it says I have 788 of 931GB free. Yesterday it was over half full. Where did all those files go?! Were they temporary files or something?
To clear some stuff up, I have decent knowledge of computers, my current one being a $1000 gaming rig I built myself. I know quite a bit, like how to RAID drives together, use the CMD console to check disks and drive paths, etc. I highly doubt it was a virus, since I use a good antivirus (Avast) and I always check the site URL before I click.
Any help would be appreciated. In case anyone asks, my drive is a Western Digital Blue 1TB. It's about 8/9 months old.
