We have a VM running Windows Server 2012 and Exchange 2013. Currently, its C: volume is 150 Gb. The system reports that only 6 Gb are still free. All files on the volume (including user profiles' folders, ProgramData and so on) eat up only 73 Gb or so. CHKDSK finds no errors on the volume and reports that 144 Gb are really consumed. It means that 70 Gb (half of the volume) are consumed by unknown files in inaccessible folders.
Regular shadow copies on volumes are not enabled. vssadmin shows that currently there is only one shadow copy, and its files are situated on another volume. Exchange databases are situated on other volumes as well.
Seems that there are folders I have no access to, buried deep within the folder hierarchy. Checking every folder on the volume manually is an overwhelming and practically impossible task. Is it possible to find and list all those folders automatically? Or is there another way to search for missing space?
