You have the 'Hide Protected Operating System Files' option checked. This hides anything with System and Hidden flags set. One of the items with these flags is the C:\Windows\Installer folder, which caches MSI files that you've installed (with any embedded files stripped out). Also, all Windows Installer patches are cached, and here the embedded file cabinet is retained.

Visual Studio 2005 SP1 is a 455MB patch. That's where a lot of the space has gone.

In addition, Windows Installer 3.x supports uninstallable patches. What do you think it does with all the files that are needed to reinstall the old version? That's right, it caches them under a hidden system folder under C:\Windows\Installer named $PatchCache$. Visual Studio 2005 SP1 is an uninstallable patch, so there's 1.2GB (on my system) of backed-up files in a folder named 0E8BA73496BF22242B086AF4D32E5219, which is the 'compressed' version of the product GUID.

I'm not sure, but I think you can delete these cached folders. If you ever decide to uninstall VS2005 SP1, and go back to the original release, I think you would then need to provide the original install media.

You might try using one of Jam Software's TreeSize[^] programs. There's a professional edition, a personal edition[^] for home use, and a free edition[^] which tells you the folders, but not the files, which are taking all the space.
