Invisible space occupied on my comp 2013-08-14 12:18:30 Reply

So I installed a 2 in one game-condition zero deleted scenes+half life
I completed them and decided to remove them but to my surprise,when I had installed them in D drive,1.5 gb,another 1.8 gb was being occupied in C drive which didnt removed on uninstallation.
I tried to re-install it but it wont as my C drive had only 1.2 gb while it needed 1.8 gb even when I was trying to install it in D drive(which has over 10 gb free)!
When I refresh my computer,the c drive's free space sometimes changes.Also,on checking properties of c drive it has 35 gb full but on checking properties of all the files in it,it has 36.6 gb full(which may vary to 36.8gb)!
What could be the problem?

Please dont post jokes here

You have to disconnect your HDD, cover it in penaut butter, put into freezer, so electrons of the circuits can bond and aquire protons from penaut butter, then clean the HDD with dry tissue out of penaut butter and you're ready to go.

The problem is your harddrive is full.

Stuff you delete doesn't disappear when you remove it from the Recycle Bin; it has to be overwritten by other data.

Sometimes you reuse parts of the hard disk so much that you get bad sectors, which are unusable parts of the disc that cannot be read.

I suggest storing your games and things on an external harddrive. They're fairly cheap nowadays.

Have you considered reformatting your drives? If they keep changing with space I think you added unallocated space (which is needed for moving stuff around on your computer) to your C drive.

So I think you need to repartition it, which is not really possible seeing you don't have that much space to do so.

Anyway, prepare yourself to make some backups because you're going to have to start from scratch.

When you say that you "removed them" did you uninstall them properly or did you just go full retard and delete them?
