Windows 10: Disk Space being eaten away...

Something is continuously leeching disk space from C:/ every few seconds. I've ran antiviruses, malware scanners, and even ran MSERT.exe hoping that would find something. Nothing was found from Bitdefender, Windows defender, Avira Security, Avast, Malwarebytes, AVG, Superantispyware, CCleaner, among other programs... Not sure what else to do. Anyone else have this problem? The way I was checking is by checking the properties of C:/ under my computer. You can right-click and go to properties. Looking at it over and over by closing the window and re-opening again, I watch free space being leeche
