i noticed this morning that i have suddenly lost about 8gb from my hard drive.
i have been doing back ups a while now but never had this before, the only thing i can think of is for the first time the other day i used decrypter to read and create an iso and burn it back on 7 disc.

checked all through the hard drive and done a defrag but cant find anything.
anybody else had this prob or know what has happened.

I have the same problem, where space is suddenly missing. What happened was I downloaded a large file, about 1gb, then when i didn't need it anymore i deleted it from my file manager. the file disappeared, as most do when they're deleted, but my hard drive still tells me that I'm missing that gb of space! it didn't go to the recycle bin, i'm assuming this is because it was too large of a file. ive searched my pc and everything but no file to be found. any thoughts? thanks
