Problem description: I just built a new PC and I did something a little wacky to transfer over files from the old PC that I didn't want to lose. What I did is: 1) Build new PC 2) Install windows 10 (new license) on new SSD on new PC 3) Fiddle around on chrome, etc for about 30 minutes to verify everything was working okay 4) Shutdown new PC 5) remove new SSD from new PC 6) Install new SSD in old PC with a different windows 10 license (old pc was powered off at the time) 7) boot up old pc 8) copy files from old HD in old PC into a new folder on the new SSD ( windows said it was going to take about 90 minutes to move everything over so I went to bed) 9) woke up in morning, spot checked a couple of files to verify they copied correctly 10) shut down old PC 11) went to work & came home from work 12) took new SSD out of old PC 13) installed new SSD back into new PC 14) boot new PC up 15) noticed copied files are missing.  Windows says all the files in my C drive (new SSD) only take up 17.5GB but also shows that I've used up about 80GB. So I'm guessing the files are still on there and windows is just being obstinate. How do I get windows to admit the files exist? Attempted fixes: Showing hidden folders. Re-indexed Drive. Reset PC. . Double-checked all the folders windows admits exists (missing files aren't there) Recent changes: Just built the new PC yesterday.

I'd run SpaceMonger and see if it shows the files as being on the HD: http://spacemonger.en.softonic.com/download
