Cause when i did this scan disc i lost 800MB. I was on 13.5GB then after scandisc went back to 12.7GB

Get yourself a cleaning utility from the net such as window washer on a 30 day free trial and it will find all temp files, cookies ms office backup files etc. Als run disk cleanup.

Window washer can be found at

www.webroot.com
