Okay Windows 7 experts... can anyone tell me why my Users folder is 119 GB?
Mine is 91 G with 84 of that in MY VIDEOS folder which I would expect.
Can you drill down to see which sub-folder is the "guilty" one(s)?
Music and videos take up a lot of space. Do you have a lot of those?
Because of what you've got in it...?

Ok, for some reason, my iTunes music folder was hidden. Thus the huge discrepancy. That actually would explain a few other issues I was having as well. Dur.
