So, I ran a chkdsk on my E: Drive and noticed the used up space has suddenly increased. All the files collectively (including hidden files) occupy only 37.5 GB data but the disk is showing 60 GB used space (only 115GB free in 175GB drive). I thought there are probably some bad sectors in my drive, so I ran chkdsk again and got this:

It says there are no bad sectors, and no other problems with the file system, but the space is still occupied by.. something?... Is there anyway to free up this space???
