Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
My C: partition is about 50 gigs, but only showing about 8 free.
When I check the properties of everything in C: though (including hidden files and folders), it shows there's only 17 gigs or so actually on the partition.
It's my OS partition, there aren't any programs installed on it aside from the extraneous stuff Photoshop and Pinnacle Studio force me to install there. Anyone know where my missing 23 gigs are?
Well, now I feel foolish. I had a 16 gig page file on C, because I have 16 gigs of RAM. This is what I get for building a computer with more RAM than I've ever had on all my previous computers combined. This can be locked.
Run WinDirStat. That'll clear everything lickety split.
I love this program so, so much. I use it on my machine, and it's helpful when I'm looking at the machine of anybody else who cares about their hard drive space, too. Basically, you get a nice, easily understandable view of what's using all that hard drive space (well, I like to tweak the appearance of the boxes from the default, but after that it's easy on the eyes). You can quickly see how much space a folder is taking up, AND see what's taking up the space in that folder. Great for managing your space and getting rid of junk you don't need.

also what number is reported when you right click the properties of the c: partition instead of doing it to all the stuff within it?
and Operation Flashpoint: Red River code to trade/sell
and Halo: Reach code
and Portal 2 code
This might account for your missing 8G.
