Tree size or Windirstat ( my preference) should give you a better picture of where your disk space is being consumed.<br />
It is important to run these tools with admin or more preferably system privs &nbsp;to get the full story

I have a Server 2012 running hyper V to host 5 VMs.<br />
I have just been aware, that the 300 gig C drive is running critical low of disk space.<br />
This is weird cause only server + gui are installed.<br />
<br />
When you mark all files on C drive it only counts to 45 gigs<br />
Just for the record:<br />
1) All files are visible incl hidden + protected sys files.<br />
2) No shadow copies<br />
3) only 0,8 gig pape file<br />
<br />
Does anyone has a clue??

Windows Server 2012 is the server version of Windows 8 and the successor to Windows Server 2008 R2. Windows Server 2012 is the first version of Windows Server to have no support for Itanium-based computers since Windows NT 4.0. Windows Server 2012, now in its second release (Windows Server 2012 Release 2) includes Foundation, Essentials, Standard and Datacenter, and does not support IA-32 or IA-64 processors.

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.

Storage Hardware

Virtualization is the act of creating a virtual (rather than actual) version of something, including (but not limited to) a virtual computer hardware platform, operating system (OS), storage device, or computer network resources. Virtualization is usually the creation of a system that executes separate from the underlying hardware resources, or the creation of an entire desktop for systems located elsewhere, similar to thin clients.
