    Lost Space?

    When I right-click on the “My Home” folder and look at the properties, I see a large gap between the size of the files (3.39 GB) and the size on the Disk (4.11 GB). Does this mean I've basically lost 700MB of space? Can I do anything to get this space back?

    Do you have any hidden folders that you do not see?

    Wait, but isn't that supposed to count ALL the files (system, hidden or not) and show the total size that your hdd has occupied?
