    Where did my storage go? ErJEcNwuLX_pU0kQ8xZwZt-YykD0D32xLb0n2WVA12Q.jpg

    Hey, maybe someone here can help me with my problem? As you can see in the picture below, my system has 256GB of storage and 185 of it are currently used. However, only about 125GB of it are really "in use". Adding up the size of all Folders on my C Drive gives the same result (including any hidden folders).

    So where are the 60GB of disc space that are not used by any documents or programs?
