    C Drive is Getting Automatically Filled Up.


    Path:

    C: > Windows > System32 > Log Files > Kernel.etl

    Hello,

    I am facing a peculiar problem as C drive is getting automatically filled up until storage sense notification pops up and says only 7 GB space left.

    I was able to figure out the issue which is caused by the Kernel.etl file in log files folder in System32. It is reaching almost size of 30 GB in an hour. I have downloaded Windows Log Viewer app but unable to open it as it showing error "unable to open as the file is being used by another program". So I am unable to detect which program is causing so much trace log data and also unable to stop the logging service inspite of being an admin user.

    I have done some trouble shooting which is mentioned below but no solution.


    1. Scanned PC using Windows Defender Offline Scanner. No detection.


    2. Scanned using Kaspersky Internet Security. No detection.


    3. Scanned using Malwarebytes Antimalware. No Detection.


    4. Tried fixing corrupted file system by using this command: chkdsk C:/f /v /x


    5. Disabled hibernation by using this command powercfg.exe /hibernate off.


    6. System Restore is disabled by default.


    7. Ran windows built-in disk clean-up and it only showed approximately 100 MB junk files.


    8. Ran Ccleaner and same result.


    9. SFC /scannow says no integrity violation.


    10. DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth. No error.


    11. Didn't install or uninstall any apps or programs.


    12. Checked start-up object and didn't find any suspicious program running.


    13. Checked all installed apps and programs and couldn't detect any suspicious programs running.


    14. Only thing that got installed is couple of windows update.


    15. This is also happening when my PC is not connected to internet as well.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Thanks.
