Hi Team, I used a tool to find some lost files and when I opened my PC this morning I found I have 5GB left on my 1TB hard drive. The day before I had about 400 GB left?

I am guessing I have duplicated my entire drive but for the life of me I cant find the saved file so I cant kick it off.

I am using Win 7 64 bit and the tool was "Mini tool power data". I guess I have saved the file somehow, yet I have looked through my main D drive and cant see it. I have gone to properties on all the files and nothing appears excessively large and did delete some old DVD's, unwanted files and photos and got back 100GB.

I went back to the software tool and found the recovered file and it looks like I have recovered a "lost partition file" ( yeah "dah" , I know) but there is no delete or reverse option and as I said cant find it anywhere

Any help would be great, I want some space back on my HDD.

Regards
Zeke
