  1. C: drive is full for no reason


    I've been doing research for a little while now and still cant clear it up. I just got CCleaner to make sure there's no big files on my drive and I've followed all the steps on all sorts of YouTube videos. The only things I have on my drive are windows, spotify, steam, uplay and a video editor. I dont have any games or anything, but is it possible that having steam there is a problem? I honestly have no clue
