The 21.7gig on the 660s vs the 4.9gB on the 1745 surely has to hold the 15gig I have been looking for. That alone seems to be yet another big problem with File Explorer. I still have no idea why the problem exists or how to correct it.įirst, I had no idea that File Explorer could hide stuff from me even with 'Show hidden files, folders and drives' checked and 'Hide protected operating system files' unchecked. It took me a few days to get around to this since I was also spending time on finding out why W10 killed Streets & Trips on me (still don't know). It will show you what is occupying space on your drive.Thanks. (Edited to make table a bit more readable and to clarify some comments.)

Full backup images (Acronis) of the entire hard drives, both with the same compression level, are 18gB vs 23gB, supporting the File Explorer number for C:total total usage. But File Explorer shows a great difference.

If I total the space of the folders on C:, they still are. Prior to that, they were within any logical differences, a gig or two. Since the Anniversary Upgrade (perhaps coincidental) the Dell 660s seems to have a huge amount of additional material on C. No user data is stored on either hard drive. Also for minor differences in hardware and hardware support software. Obviously, the sizes of the C: drive should reflect a small difference because of Flight Simulator and some support software for it. The only significant difference in installed software is that the Dell-660s has Microsoft Flight Simulator installed. Both run the 32-bit Windows 10 on a 64-bit hardware architecture. I have a Dell 1750 notebook and a Dell 660s. I have a situation which I am totally unable to explain.
