    Hi so I've had a problem for a while that my c drive is always in the red and me trying to perform disk cleanups aren't working. The only folders I have in there that take up any space are the necessary Program Files and Users ones. Any way to fix this?

    That reduced System Volume Information to 662 KB, left $GetCurrent at 3.8 GB which is called media when clicking the little arrow. Storage sense or Disk cleanup gave no reference to $GetCurrent, and the [2 files] are pagefile.sys and swapfile.sys.

    I will thank everyone and mark this thread as solved, I now have over 27 GB of free space on my C: drive, it must just slowly get down to size where Windows warned me with a red "flag" when viewing This PC.
