    Windows 10 Hard Drive Keeps Filling Up

    No it's not, it's about right. This is the breakdown of what 'System & reserved' actually means....

    You get this detailed breakdown by clicking on the 'System & reserved' bar seen in the earlier screenshots.

    On possible cause for the OP's shrinking free space could be item two in that list, the virtual memory. If that is set for 'system managed' (as it is by default) and an errant app is eating up memory but not releasing it properly, then the swap file may just keep growing until it fills the disk.

  3. C drive filling for no apparent reason

    Hello, these few days I have been continuously using disk cleanup and deleting junk in the temp files to free up space in my C drive. After that, it only saved up around 3 GB of space which were then used up again, and my drive is almost full again. I
    am not downloading any programs or anything, so I have no reason why it keeps filling up. When I try to clean up now, I'll only be saving KB's of space, and the temp files are not filled with junk. Please help.

    How can I reclaim hard drive space filled by windows 10

    Hard drive on my Acer Laptop is near full of windows 10 files/folder, etc. How can I remove unneeded files to reclaim hard disk space? Why doesn't Windows or Microsoft help with this? I don't see any good reason for Windows10 filling my hard drive.
