Oliver,

Did you check the size of the WINSXS folder (in the C:\windows\ directory). You may need to show hidden files and protected operating system files to see it.

I know on all my 2008 boxes this is where the diskspace appears to dissapear into.

Subject: Where's my disk space gone ?


Hi,

I have a Windows 2008 server with a 100GB C partition. It has 8GB free, meaning 92GB is in use. However every disk space tool I use shows that only 34GB of data is on the drive. I've tried clearing the shadow copies and that freed a few GB.

Any idea where the other 60'ish GB may be lurking ?

Olly
