    Invisible Data When Writing Data To Any Of My Hard Drives


    Please look at picture below to understand the problem which began at W10 V1909 Build 18363.836

    The example data show hidden data which will only clear once restarted.

    The main problem I have is when downloading GTAV which is a 90GB file to a 120gb ssd, every 25GB downloaded is all I can do without a full restart to clear the invisible data (what is it ?), so in total thats 3 restarts to load GTAV about 33mins - restarts.

    On a 240GB ssd the problem is still there as the whole disk shows as full of data & a restart brings it back down to 90GB of data.

    Is there a something I have missed in settings for the last year or is a it a fault which only Microsoft will cure ?

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Hard drive filled with invisible files.

    My C:\ drive, which holds the Windows 10 OS, programs data/files and a little bit of user data, shows that I have used roughly 600gb of space (first image below) on a 1TB SSD. When I use WinDirStat to see what's on that drive, it shows that I have about 120gb of data on it (second image). Could someone kindly suggest what could be taking up 480gb of space—and why it is invisible to WinDirStat. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Lost data from hard drive, what to do now?

    Well, I'm sorry to hear that it's a WD My Passport that failed on you, @tomhenry ! *Frown Invisible Data When Writing Data To Any Of My Hard Drives :(
    I'd recommend you to try using a different USB cable with it and see if that will help your system to detect it without it disconnecting.
    I'd also suggest you to go to Disk Management and see how the drive is listed there. It won't hurt to check up on the health and SMART status of the HDD by running the QUICK and EXTENDED tests from the WD's Data LifeGuard Diagnostics. Here's a link to the available software: http://products.wdc.com/support/kb.ashx?id=11ZOpD

    Give these troubleshooting steps a try and keep us posted with the results!
