    drive C used space is gaining


    For some reason my used space is gaining more(see attached). Just a few weeks ago the used space was at 50gb today it is up to 70gb. I don't know why it keeps gaining probably everyday a few gigabyte. I did a tuneup update in geeksquad but that was all. I never installed any programs. Does anyone know the reasons for this?*Biggrin

    :)

    Which folders in C Drive I can delete safely

    Currently I have 13 GB free space in the C Drive after using CC cleaner and disk cleaner and removing all the unnecessary programs. I wanted to delete the unnecessary files to gain at least 4GB space in my C Drive so that I can install the windows 10 anniversary
    update. Can somebody help me to delete the folders in C Drive manually so that I can gain the space.

    you are gaining "weight" on your computer cause of temporary files, restore points, high use of the swapfile, hiberfile and not forgetting to mention the ever gaining folder "winsxs" (which has on my pc already a size of 8GB with raising tendency)...
