Unhappy Free disk space in system drive.. Really confused...


Hi all,
I'm just really confused....! My system drive is suffering from low disk space...but i just wonder how could it be...
See this picture..


And now i entered that drive....Selected all folders (including hidden) and checked the properties...and it is like this



Thing is that i've turned off system restore, then no hibernation, then virtual memory is set to zero... Then where is the rest of memory...

The things in the folder "System Volume Information" which in simple words is the back-up folder for System Restore are not counted in the 2nd method. Also reduce the size of your Page File.

Disable System Restore and enable it again. You'll get more free space.

@ayush_chh
Its a 40GB Hard disk with "C" having 7000 MB appx.


@rhitwick
Its already set to zero....i wanted to check it too..


@ico
I guess it will get counted in the second method too. Since my hidden files (including system files are not hidden). Anyway since i have turned off the system restore in this drive, "system volume information" will not consume ryt...here the screenshot..



Friends.... what will be the problem....
