@ slashy & oip: He said several times he already checked those folders.

If I remember correctly, Snow had a similar problem some time ago, the summary of all folders on his HDD being a few gig less than the used space shown in the Windows information. I don't know if he found a solution for it though.

One thing I do on a regular base is disabling the System Restore function of Windows, so the restore points made to that day get deleted. When enabling the System Restore again, a new, up-to-date point is created, but depending on how long it has been since I last did this, I sometimes get up to 10 GB back... I don't know if you already tried that, but if not, give it a shot... It can't hurt if your system is running smooth at the moment.

Kat, please, read carefully.

I'm not sure taht he checked system folders. And I explaind why I am considering this. May be I'm wrong, yes. But I tried to help and I want to be 100% sure that he showed system folders. "System" is not the same as "hidden". Also, I already wrote about "System restore".

So please, do not blame me.

Thanks.

When I finish to download/upload torrent and I want to delete it from my computer the files dissapear but there's no more free space on hdd then it was before I deleted torrent files.
For example: capacity of my disc is 50 GB. I download dvd with uTorrent and lets say size of it is 4 GB. So now my free disc space is 46 GB. When I delete this downoladed dvd I still have only 46 GB of free space! What's going on????
It's started to be really frustrating because total free space on my discs is now 6 GB when there should be around 22 GB of free space!!! And whan I check total size of all files on my disc I also see that there should be 22 GB of free space more! Where has gone the lost space on my disc? Anybody seen something like that before?
if you deleted the files and emptied the recycle bin it takes about 7-10 days for it to show up no matter if you deleted it all right away or not this is normal. so just be patient wait it out..
;)

PS: my pc is the same way i wait it out and the space comes back..
