Selecting all files and showing properties skips files where don't have access to. Run TreesizeFree (as admin) and look which folders "eat" most space.

Thank you guys, finally i recover my disk space by disabling "hibernate" of windows 8.1, i do not need the hibernate cache, since my OS disk is a SSD, should be faster enough for a refresh boot
