    Messed up installing Fences software, now have lost 23GB of SSD


    Hi Everyone, while installing Stardock Fences I broke off the installation half way through, and now have lost approx 23GB of my SSD. I figured it is more of a general Win10 problem rather than specifically a Fences issue, that's why I'm posting here rather than on the Stardock forum. Previously I had around 50-55GB free on my SSD, and as soon as I checked after the bungled installation, I'm down to 29GB. After running SpaceSniffer to try to work out what is wrong, it shows 23GB as 'Unknown'. In an attempt to sort it out, I ran sfc /scannow and DSIM/Restore Health, but while they came back healthy, the mystery remains. Also scanned the drive for errors and optimised it, no change. Also attached an XYplorer screenshot, hope this helps. What should I do? Many thanks, .

    :)

    Yes, I do think that is my problem, but I couldn't find a way to remedy it. Sorry for the screenshot being in Hungarian, if you need I can translate it. And don't mind the 500 MB partition, I tried to do a fix from a similar thread which suggested creating it, but later steps didn't prove successful.

    I did the Diskpart step that SWI2 explained in post #14 and rebooted, but I still see drive D having the system label.

    Install Diablo 3 on Linux

    Just install PlayOnLinux? Why did they make step 2 and 3 of this "tutorial"?

    Anyway, looking at the supported software list for PlayOnLinux, D3 is a step in the right direction. Lack of gaming is a factor for a lot of people when deciding on an OS, if more recent games get ported it may help migrate them to their preferred choice.
