    C drive has 30 gb of unaccounted for storage


    My C drive says it has 78.3 GB used but only about 60% of it is accounted for. When I downloaded treesize it said the same thing and was unable to locate where the other 30 gb of storage comes from. What gives?

    Unaccounted for Dell Laptop Hard Drive space on C: drive SSD

    I have a Dell Inspiron 3793 running Windows 10 Home version 1909. The C drive is a 256GB SSD, and I am noticing a bunch of unaccounted for hard drive space (see pictures below). Drive properties show 163GB used, but when I select all the files they only total to 94GB (69GB unaccounted for). If you look on the WinDirStat listing below, there is a 32GB file labelled "<Unknown>". What is going on? What can I do to free up the space?

    Unaccounted Storage Space

    Howdy y'all,

    I'm not entirely sure if this has been asked, but I am having an issue that I don't know how to resolve. I am using a 5 year old HP Zbook 15u with 217 GB of storage. As of late my storage has quickly filled up and I only have about 16.1 GB left of free space. Since I need to download AutoDesk Inventor for a project, I need to clear up a lot of space on my hard drive. In order to clear up space I decided to look at deleting some of my applications that I don't use, and move some others to an external hard drive as according to my Storage, 142 GB are being used for Apps & Features. However, when I did a deep dive into how much total space these applications are taking up, I found that they only constitute about 34.1 GB of storage space, not enough to allow me to download Inventor. That leaves roughly 76% unaccounted for, and I have no clue where that space could have gone to. If someone could help me with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.

    Bear in mind, I do intend to clear up a lot of space from my Temporary Files, One Drive, Documents, etc., I just want to know where and why I am missing roughly half of my internal hard drive.

    I have attached my excel spreadsheet below, and a snippet of my storage.

    I did the drive properties disk cleanup along with cleaning up system files. Here is TreeSize listing:
