Windows 10: Disk space

So the last few days my hdd space has been freeing up some? I had 562 gb available and now I’m at 570. I haven’t deleted anything or downloaded anything in quite some time. I ran a Malwarebytes scan and windows defender and nothing has come up. I’ve also never heard of a virus that frees up dick space.... I plan on moving my windows to an SSD this weekend anyway I’m just curious if this normal?

hard disk space

Hello,

Taking into consideration that the free space is shrinking fast, it is possible that your system is creating restore points. To
delete restore points except for the recent one, simply follow the steps below:

• From the Cortana search box, type Disk Cleanup and click on the first result.
• Once the Disk Cleanup window appears, select the
  More Options tab.
• Under the System Restore and Shadow Copies column, click on the
  Clean up... button.

Once done with the steps, see if your disk space has expanded.

If you have further questions, please let us know.
