One of the OS I frequently use is Windows 7. Unfortunately I recently ran out of partition space (partition D:, which has total size 668GB). I uninstalled some big, unused applications. However I still only have 1.92GB free out of 668GB total.
It's easy to estimate that the total sum of the programs in the Add/Remove Programs section is even less than 300GB.
When I selected all folders and files on the D: partition and clicked Properties I saw this:
The total size of files on this partition is 131GB.
Something is wrong. What's wrong and why?
PS. I have unchecked in Windows' options hiding system's folders.

Use TreeSize to see where all your space is going. It's a really good tool and it's free. You can use it to see which folders are taking up the most space, and lots of other filtering and viewing options.
There is an Admin shortcut I think which will show you any folders that are system protected, just remember to run it as admin!
