With Wubi, it basically installs Ubuntu into a file on your hard disk. I believe it goes into C:\ubuntu\root.disk, by default (or in a similar location in another hard disk, if that's what you selected).

If you are missing 30 gigabytes of space, then try removing the C:\ubuntu folder. If that folder doesn't exist, then either you're NOT missing 30 gigabytes, or your filesystem is damaged and you should run Chkdisk.exe (or whatever your favourite disk checking tool is).

Can you help with this problem?
