  1. A piece of my HDD is hiding from me...


    So I wanted to make some space on my HDD because it was kinda full and I deleted this, this, that and that, after deleting some programs and games, my mind could not figure out what happened because the partition was still kinda full and I tried something.

    I clicked properties on the partition to see the used and free space and then I marked all the folders inside the partiton and again hit properties to see how much space are taking those files and folders and I saw that (see the picture below)

    There are not any hidden files on the partition, just those folders, so my question is: Where is my space? (128 GB)

    Hi Johan,

    It is possible that your
    HDD was unreadable
    causing the error message to appear. We recommend that you perform these troubleshooting steps and check if there are any changes:


    • Shutdown
      your
      PC.

    • Unhooked
      the
      HDD
      and
      turn on
      your
      PC.

    • Reconnect
      your
      HDD
      and
      restart
      your
      PC.

    If the issue persists, we suggest that you contact your
    laptop/computer's manufacturer
    for further assistance.

    Update us on how it goes.

    Regards.

  3. how to effectively hide or disable the taskbar?

    Hi,



    Did you try the “Auto-hide the taskbar” option from Taskbar properties?



    If you have not tried it, I would suggest you to follow these steps and auto-hide the taskbar:

    • Right click on Taskbar.
    • Click on Properties
    • Check the box Auto-hide the taskbar.
    • Click on OK.


    Hope this information helps.
