Where is my hard disk capacity?

[HPuserunfortuna]

I have 500GB capacity. 387GB are used - according to Windows Explorer's Properties function.

I can account for 140GB - in Users, Program Files, Windows, and SwSwtup folders (and a few others).

How can I find where the other 240BG are?

I have managed my hard disk space many times over the years and have always been able to locate most of the capacity I am using but I can't find it on this PC.

Please let me know 1) how I can find the 240GB, 2) is there a software program that let's me manage this better than using Windows Explorer?

Thank you.

Thank you.

I followed your suggestion via the COntrol Panel and get a similar view as the one you posted but it does not show me where the files are.

Is my capacity being used up by pictures, or documents or videos?
