Solved [BUG] Very Strange Issue with the Pagefile

[whs]

I suggest you run WinDirStat. That will give you a nice graphic where you see immediately what the big chunks are. Click on those and it tells you what it is. WinDirStat - Windows Directory Statistics

Then check the shadowstorage. Run command prompt as admin with this command - vssadmin list shadowstorage - the Allocated is the space that shadowstorage currently reserved.

Strange, I run vssadmin list shadowstorage as an Administrator, but still get "Access is denied".

Nice program! Actually, it's amazing. :thumb: It also proves that I didn't went crazy, lol.
What can I do with this, guys, aside from formatting the disk? What do you think could cause such a thing to happen? Do you believe the theory that it might be a pagefile shadow, or what do you think it is?

Looks like those 26GB of 'unknown' are your problem. Try to delete it directly from WinDirStat - right click on it.

It is very strange that VSSADMIN did not work. Try vssamin list shadows

Nothing worked. It was definitely a windows bug. I gave up and formatted the drive.

Thank you, everyone for helping me out with this. Even though, I was not able to solve my problem, I still learned a lot of new nice things!

Thanks! :thumb::thumb::thumb:
