I bought a Pavilion 500 about 2 months ago, and have been using it without any major issues. However, I noticed something recently that I would like an answer: It has to do with apparent loss of disk space (HDD). Most of the space on the drive is video files. Here are the details:
Disk manager says drive is healthy, and OS partition is 1842GB. (HDD size supposed to be 2TB)
Properties says Total space is 1.79G, Used space is 1.68TB, and Free space is 114GB.
However, here is the space actually used:
Recycle Bin = 70G
Program files and Windows = 4G
Users = 449G
Hidden folders is negligible.
This means my total actual usage is 523GB.
So then, where is the 1.15 TB that properties claims is used, but is not used?
I need an answer soon, as a free space of 114G will be consumed rapidly with further video usage. Since this system is only 2 months old, this looks like a major problem. Is it a known issue? What is the solution?
