I checked and Windows dedicated 4.29GB as a swap file. By the way, I'd like to point out that now Windows says I'm only using 98GB of the drive.
Just 2 hours ago it said 102GB and I have not installed or uninstalled any software or moved any files at all.
I run disk cleanup almost daily, so that's not it either.
If I do "Select All" on all of the folders on C, then it shows 61.8GB total size right now. If I disable "Hide protected system files, etc" and the swap and other ones show up, then my total goes to 66.1GB.
I have no idea where these other 30GB are.
UPDATE: I found out what this crap was! It is system restore points. Apparently I had like 30 backups (Windows makes a restore point each time it installs a patch, etc). You gotta open Disk Cleanup and then go under More Options.
Now my total shows to be 65.2GB which is FAR closer to the truth. :)
