Stomper

ok, well that worked. Thx for the help guys, i was seriously getting worried. I guess CCleaner was what caused the problem?

lol, ok, lets hope you're right.

ok, that worked, it showed up. and under properties of the folder it says there is 61.9 GB in the folder, however when I open the folder, it is empty. Next step?

ok I typed: C:\$Recycle.Bin in the explorer bar, and it said "this folder is empty" but windirstat says it's not

Interesting, even after I selected to show hidden files and folders, \$Recycle.Bin doesn't show up. \$Recycle.Bin only shows up in windirstat. Should I just delete the files under the \$Recycle.Bin from windirstat, using the "Delete (no way to undelete!" option?

Wow, bad ass program! Ok i installed windirstat. I ran it, and apparently there is 62 GB in the recycle bin. But the recycle bin registers as empty in windows. I use CCleaner to empty my recycle bin. But that still doesn't seem like all the space that should be cleared up. But I may be wrong. Any suggestions on how to empty the files from the recycle bin, even though windows says it's empty? I am guessing the "Delete(no way to undelete)" is the option I use for that?

I have been using defraggler for a while now. However since the last update. Every time I defrag, I have noticed, I have been losing hd space very quickly. I currently have a 12MB left on my 750 GB HD. To say the least I am very disturbed at this. I tried to "check drive for errors" in defraggler, however it couldn't find anything, and said I had to to a CHKDSK /F command through ms-dos at the next restart. So I said Yes, and restarted. The scan commenced, and started windows after it finished. I was not prompted by anything telling me there were errors, and the words didn't stay on the screen long enough for me to read them all. Windows started normally. I am still having the same problem. I know I should have around 150-200 GB free on my HD. I even tried do this: http://docs.piriform.com/defraggler/technical-information/windows-vista-and-volume-shadow-copies Still nothing. Microsoft system restore said I didn't have any restore points, and thus I had no options to delete any. The instructions on the page at the link above, need to be updated. I am running Vista64bit and the GUI options were nothing like ones listed on that page. Anyone have any suggestions?
