Windirstat Not Showing All Files

WizTree will, when run as administrator, show you all files on the drive, in a fraction of the time that WinDirStat takes to run. It does this by using.

I agree with Andre, I have seen WinDirStat display this exact anomaly before, and TreeSize doesn't have the issue. I no longer use WinDirStat. (well, in fact I never did use it, but others in my department used it and came to me to explain wherethis missing XX Gb had gone.)Don(Please take a moment to 'Vote as Helpful' and/or 'Mark as Answer', where applicable.This helps the community, keeps the forums tidy, and recognises useful contributions.

It was my synch folders from SBS 2011. I have now offloaded some very old stuff and I am back to normalMany thanks again and I will recommend TreeSize. Much betterThanks Sepp. Thanks Andre,First I've heard of TreeSize and it seems to be a pretty useful tool.

I don't think I'll replace WinDirStat with it, but I'll certainly add it to my toolbox.I discovered that the issue with the Unknown files is likely to occur in TreeSize too if it's not 'run as administrator'. I believe that WinDirStat is reporting this because it sees a block of data used, but it can't access it to report on it.I re-ran WinDirStat as admin and the 'Unknown' files is empty. I'm now seeing everything.Thanks again for the software tip.I'm not advocating violence. I'm just saying that it works, and I highly suggest using it.

Windirstat Not Showing All Files On Firefox

Hi all,I have a Windows 10 machine that is showing as having 9.92GB free space of 107GB.When I use WinDirStat to check for files on the C drive it returns as only having 57GB of files.(I have tried the right click run as admin)When I manually check folder sizes on the machine they seem to match what WinDirStat is telling me.The machine does not or has not had backup & restore turned on as far as I am aware.Has anyone encountered this and/or have any ideas of how to find what is taking up the space on C:?Thanks for any replies,Dan.

I had a situation once where an admin blocked permissions to a huge chunk of folders in their profile which resulted in the behavior you're seeing.

Not saying that's what's happening but in my case once I re-stamped the proper file permissions to all those folders WinDirStat began to match windows. It's a shot in the dark but you never know.Thanks for the reply, I thought this might have been the case so had ran windirstat as the local admin on the machine as well but same results unfortunately!
