    When I displayed properties on the virtual C: drive in Windows, it said I had 180 gb free (of 512 gb). I deleted several Snapshots, emptied trash, and tried Properties again: it then reported only 130 gb free. I deleted all Snapshots, turned off SmartGuard, deleted several other files, and emptied trash. Now Properties shows only 18 gb free. This makes no sense of course. When I list "Details" of C: storage it say that the category "Other" is using 495 gb. When I break "Other" down into a list, it only shows a few folders totaling less then 100 gb. That too makes no sense, but I get warnings that the disk is too close to full which may prevent some apps from running correctly! Help!
