Make sure you do not have an open FTP server running and someone is tucking loads of data deep in your file structure. There is also a hack out there, comes in via FTP, that creates folders with a space in the front of them. This makes the files not viewable by windows. If you boot to NTFSdos you can see the folders, but you can't delete them. This is, most likely, way beyond your problem, but I had it happen a few years back and I WILL NEVER open up FTP without knowing exactly what is going on.

How much space are you losing?  Do you think that it's because of virtual memory or System restore points?
