You say it's a new server. Is it possible that it's the vendor's hidden utility space for restore purposes? If so you wouldn't want to blow that away.

The only thing left to check and find to see if there is some sort of secret folder that we cannot see. At this point it looks like we are going to move all data off the partition and delete it then move data back. It is a new server that we are managing that is what adds some fun. Thanks.

Not sure if it is a Monday morning thing or the IT gremlins are getting to me. Have a server that the E drive (data drive) via Windows Explorer has a total size of 54.3GB with 1.61 GB free. There are 2 folders in the drive. If the total size of the 2 folders are added, it equals approx 24GB. So the question lies where are the other 30GB of data hiding? All files and folders are being displayed. Going to run Xinorbis to see if it gives any further information. Any thoughts or insults would be appreciated as it may jar my mind… CAR _____ This e-Mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
