Windows 10: Disk keeps filling, but none of the categories listed in Settings>system>storage are...

I'm very confused here. The disk fills completely until it simply doesn't even show the blue/red bar in This PC. I've checked in the settings menu and looked at the storage, and the total available space goes down but none of the categories go up.

:)

 

System Specs minor revisions and suggestions

Change: Hard Disk(s) to Storage Device(s)
Change: LCD/CRT Model: to Display Device(s):
add an Audio Device(s) = for headsets and speaker set ups.

and as others have suggested before: The option to list more than one system spec

SSD storage keeps filling up on its own

Hi Ash,

There's a possibility that the files are just hidden. As an initial troubleshooting, we suggest following the steps below on how to display hidden files that's eating space of your SSD:

• On the Search bar, type folder, and then select
  Show hidden files and folders from the search results.
• Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives,
  and then select OK.

Keep us in the loop with the result.
