Actually I mean reported disk usage 60 gig, but when I open up window
explorer select all files under c: shows 30 gig used.
The problem was solved this morning, it was because IBM back up takes up
lots of space and the directory "RRBackups" is a system file so it shows only
0 bytes but actually takes up 30 gig. This is similar as Checkpoints, but
since it is a IBM folder, microsoft tools or tools like Visualizer cannot
display its size.
That's why I am a microsoft person not IBM's :>
