Hi and thanks in advance for any help
I am getting a message that my hard drive is full, when i click on properties for the C drive it confirms that i am using 29.5 GB of my 30 GB hard drive. BUT when i add up the sizes of all the files on the C drive (including hidden files), it only comes to 25 GB.
Any ideas on why I can't find that missing 5 GB?

Thanks.
