The only thing that I can suggest is running CHKDSK.

1. Open a command prompt.
   • Click Start then select Run…
   • Type "command" or "cmd" (no quotes).
   • Click "OK"
2. Type "chkdsk c: /f /r" (no quotes). Note: Option /f : Fixes errors on the disk. Option /r : Locates bad sectors and recovers readable information.
3. Type "Y" (no quotes), when asked if you want to do this during the next reboot.
4. Type "EXIT" (no quotes)
5. Reboot your system.
6. Note: CHKDSK may run for quite a while so just be patient.

After the system reboots, see if file system shows more space on the disk and/or fix any other errors.

For more information on CHKDSK see:
