If you do not use hibernation, make sure you do not have it enabled, which reserves disk space equal to your RAM. If you have a hidden file on the root directory of your C-drive called hiberfil.sys, hibernation is enabled. To remove that file, go to Control Panel, select Performance and Maintenance, Power Options, Hibernate tab, and uncheck the Enable hibernation box.

Thanks so much. I was wondering why there was a huge difference between the size of my hard drive and the size of the files stored on it. Now I have the additional capaciyt I need.
