Losing freespace on SSD X25-M 160GB G2

hello!

I have a 160GB SSD as windows/application. it came to my attention that i currently have only 30 GB left free space, which surprised me. I didnt install much on the drive. So I started to investigate it;

opened a dosbox and did: dir * /s; the result:

Total Files Listed:

142356 File(s) 30,204,940,918 bytes 61206 Dir(s) 32,397,701,120 bytes free

30GB with files and 32GB free = 62GB on a 160GB drive, I miss almost 100GB of space!

I tried with Treesize pro, showed same result. 100GB seems to be missing.

Checked the firware (Intel SSD toolbox, word 23-26); 2CV102G9

which seems ok.

What can i do to reclaim the 100Gb ?

thanks in advance,

Sander

You can try running Crap Cleaner to delete those files--it does delete stuff from Windows Media Player.

deleting was easy, and 100% straight forward;

I browsed to the directory, right clck LocalMLS and

press shift while choosing delete, resolved the issue (although it took 30 minutes to delete even on SSD it saved up 78GB of space.)

thanks all!

regards
