Scanner = 497Gb free Explorer = 46Gb free

Hi,
Scanners (Treesize, scn2 and spacemonger) show I'm using 513 Gb of my 1 Tb drive but Explorer and xplorer2 say I've only got 46Gb free.
Spacemonger shows a big piece of disk space that isn't scanned.

I switched off Restore and, separately, shadow volume thing.
I use avast for virus
Using Rollback rx for system saves.

When I delete files or run ccleaner and even deleting a Rollback snapshot the size available does not increase.

Biting my nails as I near the limits of my disk space!!

Help! Gulp

 

Some more info ...
Windows 7 x64
4G mem

The unscanned area by spacemonger shows two directories not scanned:
C:\system volume information
C:\Windows\System32\LogFiles\WMI\RtBackup

I can't access the vol info dir and the files showing in WMI dir are few and very small.

The biggest file on C: is about 6Gb

that's as far as I've got

 

I haven't reread this thread, I simply remembered it when I saw Rollback was being used. You might want to read through it to see if you find anything relevant.

I'll read through it later and see if I find anything of value to your problem.

 

Bad link. Here is the thread.

 

Hi and thanks Sach2.

I read that post and from decided to uninstall Rollover. Prior to that I had deleted a snapshot and used their defrag snapshots process but no change in space available.

The uninstall required that I pick a snapshot to use for their uninstall process to complete, so I used one I had just taken beforehand. Then a nervous 2 hours or so of their uninstall routine and everything came back fine and ...
I got all my lost space back!!

This is very disappointing for such a high end product (I guess you could call it that based on cost). Perhaps there was so solution within the menus but I could not find it and I wasn't prepared to investigate their support options - don't know why.

So in the post you directed me to there was doubt cast on some Lenovo(?) product. It looks like the problem is all to do with Rollover.

When I have time I'll see if Rollover have addressed this problem and or direct their attention here.

Thanks again and I hope this thread doesn't have to be of help to others!!

Cheers

 

I'm glad you got your space.

I'm still unclear exactly how the problem manifests itself, I've never been able to experiment with RollBackRx because of the cost. I hope if you decide you need its capabilities in the future that their support can help you get to the root of the problem. I would hope they have figured it out by now.
