The Don Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Probably a System Restore point. But for limchunghau, I have no idea... I think it's a Vista issue. Seen others complain about this who have Vista. I can't be sure though since I use XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M_Lyons10 Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 You both are using Windows Vista, correct? If you search this forum you will see countless topics about this. Basically Windows Vista creates restore points when Defraggler is moving files around, which equates to this lost space... Over time old restore points will be overwritten by new ones, etc. If you want to reclaim this space now you can always delete the restore points... Hopefully a future version of Defraggler will play nicer with Vista, but for the time being this is the case... Sorry the news couldn't be better...
