HD disk space missing in Windows 7

I have Windows 7 Pro installed on my system. If I right click the C: and ask for properties it says 45GB used. If I select all the stuff existing in the drive C: (including hidden files and folders) and ask for properties it says a total of 33GB used.

My Windows 7 has the paging file size set to a bit less than 4GB. Even if those 4GB wasn't included in the 33GB above I still would have 8GB missing. Any idea?

More than likely, System Protection. Even if you turn it off, you have to go into the configuration, and delete all previous restore points.
 
System restore and hibernation is usually the biggest space eaters. If you don't use hibernation then you can disable it. Open CMD with Admin rights and type powercfg.exe -h off .

Opposite is powercfg.exe -h on .
 
Cool,it was the stupid restore point stuff. After to disable it and delete the existing ones all of my disk space is back.

Thanks!!!!!!

Have you run chkdsk recently. Search file explorer for a folder called " found. 000". Delete it except when it mentions system files then skip all similar files. Reboot.
