I am so grateful, for you and everyone else's help. TreeSize helped me get my space back and I am so happy.

Rerunning CCleaner didn't help. I enabled 'Hidden Files and Folders but to no prevail I cannot find the files.

A while back, I wiped the free space on my hard drive. At the time, I hadn't known that CCleaner filled the space with files, then deleted them once it was done. In the middle of the process I stopped the command, then used a restore point. The space is still filled after restarting and shutting down. I'm unable to find the zzzzzzz.zzz files no matter where I look. They are supposed to be at the top of whatever drive I wiped, but I can't seem to find them. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Locations: folders in C: .

Immediately after I stopped the scan, I loaded an old restore point, would that interfere somehow? Because I am still unable to find the folders, but I feel I'm probably just incompetent.

Hey, A reboot didn't retrieve the lost space, and I don't have a partition, where can I find the file/folder at?

Today I was running CCleaner and wiped all of my free space. I thought this would clear up some old files up but instead filled my local disk with tons of GB of who knows what. I panicked and stopped the command and used a restore point, but the space is still full of... who knows what. How do you undo this?
