I am using WinDirStat.As you can see on former replies, I have deleted files from
C:\ to make freespace I.3GB. Then it gradually decreased to 1.24GB, and now it is
1.1GB. Checking on WinDirStat again there are no more clues. But on starting WinDirStat
before the graphic display. it states--C:\Total 7.4GB, Free1.1GB, Used85.0%. So
it is stating that 1.5% is unaccounted for. I have already used CHKDSK disk, and
the result was no corruption.
