I am trying to be as thourough as possible so you guys know whats going on. This is very confusing for me. I calculated that there is 12.2 missing gigabytes on my computer. I went through and calculated the files in my c: Drive and the calculations come up to 26.1 before I deleted some files off my computer. The computer properties say that there are 38.3 gigabytes used (before I deleted the files, the files are about 1 gig). There are 12 missing gigs that I cannot account for. I ran Tree size free on my computer and it did not find those missing gigs. I also ran Easy cleaner and still nothing. What I did to clear up the possible space missing is delete the previous restore points (My computer is backed up to an external hard drive so not necessary for me to have system restore anyways). I deleted some of the unnecessary files from disk cleanup and still the gigs are missing. I deleted programs I no longer use and still nothing. Now I have done the prework on my computer with the exception of spysweeper. I have searched the answers for this in different places. Now the system restore did clean up a bit of my space but it is still not the missing 12 gigs. I recently did a pc recovery and I am thinking that it might be from that but I am not sure.
This is the picture of my hard drive properties as you can see it says over 30 gigabytes.


This is the picture of the Tree Size program it says 24 gigabytes.



This is the list of the folders and their sizes in the c: drive.
Documents and settings- 12.8 Gigs. Itunes is about 8 gigs.
HP- 2.0g Megs.
1386- 382 Megs.
Kav- 41.3 Megs.
Program Files- 2.45 Gigs.
SwSetup- 3.43 Gigs
Symbols- 2.58 Megs.
TempDVD- 6.52 Megs.
Windows- 2.95 Gigs.

I included a hijackthis log just incase.

That's probably why, that contains system roll back points for system restore, my guess is that's where it is.

I have deleted the old points.

I went through disk cleaner and asked it to remove old restore points.

I found a way to look at the size of that file and it says empty so thats not it.

Hello SweetMeg,

I find that TreeSize is a fairly inaccurate program, and fairly slow. I suggest a program called FolderSize..it's tiny as, takes no time to load, and doesn't slow down your computer
