Weird situation...
I ran the disk usage analyzer because I thought that maybe the amount of free space that shows at the bottom of Nautilus was incorrect somehow but the number is correct. Here's the problem though...
My amount of space used in / is only 30.x g while it shows that I have used 74.x g. where is my 40g hidding?
I have attached a pic so you can see what I mean...
Edit: Ubuntu is the only thing installed on this hard drive if that matters at all. I have windows on it's own hard drive...
