Drive taking up more space than all of its files

Hello, Everyone.

I am supporting a production environment while the network guy is on vacation.

I go and look (remote in to a server) and see this:

C:\ 13.8 GB Free of 71.9 GB 59 GB of files +13 GB Free ~ 72 GB Drive
E:\ 1.58 GB Free of 64.6 GB 46.8 GB of Files + 1.58 GB Free != 64.6 GB Drive
F:\ 286 GB Free of 409 GB 114 GB of Files + 286 GB Free ~ 400 GB

Now what I am finding weird is that when I go in to E: and rt click for properties to get the size of all of the contents, it says 46.8 GB. But right clicking on E: says 64 GB.

Where is the missing 16 GB being eaten? I have display hidden files and folders checked in folder options.

Windows Server 2008

Thanks
Patrick
