out of curiosity, I decided to check the "properties" of my HDD .... size 250 GB.... it shows less than 50GB free at present, which got me thinking ,... What have I really got on there ? ? ? so I thought I would check the properties of the Windows folder.... it shows as almost 23GB !! is this "normal" for WINDOWS 7 PROFESSIONAL

25.2GB for Windows 7 Home Premium here.
Windows 10 Pro takes up 14.9GB but that's a relatively new install.

Is there by any chance a 'windows.old' folder holding a full previous version lurking somewhere? After a major update of win 10 one is generated automatically and should disappear after a month. I can't remember if win 7 does the same.

Hmm... interesting that I have the smallest windows ! ! ! ...
@Baldrick1 No sign of windows.old file but I do have a weird folder as pictured...... I do hope it`s not a "nasty" although I have scanned it with Microsoft Security Essentials and it says no problem.

Not on W7, @Baldrick1, but even if there was it wouldn't still be on my system - I always trim junk off my main drive.
I can account for the size of my 'Windows ' folder, there's nothing in there that shouldn't be.

If you Google it, several people are asking about dbus-keyrings across a range of platforms. Sorry I have no idea what it is.
