    in addition to the above questions
    Have you emptied the recycle bin after deleting the files, and have you defragged recently

    Along with this I would also scandisk....

    Incorrect hard drive space can also be reported by a errors in your hard drive

    Also, using a tool like Clonemaster or the Uninstaller can be dangeroous if you don't know what you're deleting. Don't trust the machine to make the decision for you. Know what you're deleting.
