I did a quick disk check and was shocked to find that 240Gb of disk space is in use... I did a properties check on each directory and according to my maths, it doesn't add up to 240Gb...
I've run disk cleanup, which freed a couple of Gb, but I can't seem to locate the files that are eating the space. The pagefile is 3Gb, which is system managed, I've unhidden all files to see if I could find anything conspicuos, but nothing so far...
So, any suggestions anyone, or can anyone recommend a good disk analysis tool!!!

Just off the top of my head but is VMWare reserving disk space for swap files for the virtual PCs?
