I use a program named Power Defragmenter GUI. I was using it a little while ago to defragment an ext hdd. As it was defragmenting, I noticed that is was defragmenting items in "Recycler." So I right clicked on the drive, chose Properties and clicked on Disk Cleanup on the General tab. Disk Cleanup ran but the Recycle Bin had 0kb in it. I went into Control Panel -> Folder Option -> View tab -> Show Hidden Files and Folder and unchecked Hide Protected Operating System Files. I found that there is a folder named Recycler and a folder named Recycle Bin. Recycle Bin has 0kb in it but Recycler has 3 files but it shows that it reserves only 3.99Gb and that there is 0kb in it. Also, System Volume Information takes up 0kb.

These are the kinds of weird problems I had when I built this pc. Someone mentioned that I should name it Damien.
