Ref WD Elements 320 GB portable drive connected through 2.0 USB port to a PC using MS Vista Operating system
When I click on computer I see the WD Elements drive listed. When I click on Properties for this drive it shows "Used Space 320 GB Free Space 2.86 MB.
I then open the drive and it shows all the files and applications on the drive and the file size. When I add up the total file space from all that is listed on the drive it only totals about 120 GM.
Can anyone give me some ideas on how I can determine what is consuming the other 200 GM of drive space.
I executed “Show Hidden Files” and two additional flies showed up on the list, but when I checked the file sizes, they were insignificant.
There were two file folders that still showed empty after the hidden files mode was activated. One I added three years ago. I decided to delete it and after which I got back the lost ~200 GB of file space. So the problem was hidden files, not sure why the Show Hidden Files command didn’t reveal them, But I am happy to have the problem fixed.
Thanks for your help.
I will click the Kudo when I figure how to do it (I just registered for this site 2 days ago).
