drive space question

[Desolate]

when i right click my C drive it says that i'm using 19.0 gig but when i open C drive and highlight all the folders and files in it, it says its only 16.6 gigs where are those extra 2.4 gigs that it says i'm using? And i dont have system restore on.

You're probably not selecting things like your pagefile as well. If you want to, just go to folder options and uncheck the hide system files option. I'd just leave it be though.

You may also have hibernation enabled, which creates a file hiberfil.sys that's equal in size to the amount of memory you have.

Enable "show hidden files" in the tool-folder options-view from explorer.
