According to Windows, all the data on C:, including hidden files and folders, comes to 163 GB. Hibernation cache is an extra 3 GB. Fine, the hard drive is 216 GB. 216 - 166 = 50 GB free space, but I have 25 GB of free space, what am I missing here?!

Yeah, my Windows does...interesting things with space, too. Recycle Bin? Fragmentation? RAM/master file table hijinks? Idk man.

hidden files.

...I've accounted for hidden files. I think it's mostly fragmentation, but it's been ages since I had enough free space to defragment anyway, I've gotten another 12 GB out of defragging. Yay!

Jesus harold CHRIST what do you do to your computer that you can get that much space out of defrag?

[demurediablo]

I don't know!!! I've never defragged this one, but it's pretty new, and I already told you my computer is screwing with me!! One day, I cleared a GB of space, the next day I log in and mysteriously 10 GB had been cleared. T___T My computer is on crack. The bad kind.
