Hi,

I was trying to unrar something that is very big (a few GB's) and
apparently one of the rar file was corrupted. I tried to unrar it a
couple of times and now my HD mysteriously losses 20-30GB. I checked
each folder by looking at their properties to check the size. The
sizes don't add up when I do a property on the drive itself. There's
nothing in the recycle bin. Could the files be hiding somewhere?

P.S. I've set it to show all files, including hidden & system files.
