RE: Where the heck is the disk space going??
Windows sometimes likes to cache the amount of free space left on the drive - i've noticed it before. After a while it will update the amount of space (or when you reboot as was said).
The other thing to try might be to use the Search for Files and Folders tool to locate files over a specific size, sorted by size and then you have a fair idea at what is taking up so much storage.
Turn on hidden files and folder viewing (if not already on) and locate to C:\Recycler. This is where the recycle bin is actually located. Have a snoop around in there and see if any files seem to be lingering..
