    I lost 12G of something


    My 8.1 system partition had 48Gb+ of data on it. After installing Windows 10 and cleaning up, it's down to just a little more than 36Gb. After checking out all the installed programs and their settings, there's apparently nothing wrong. I even checked to make sure the drive hadn't been erroneously compressed. I'm at a loss. Nothing seems to be missing. Maybe it could have been a bloated pagefile, but I've historically kept the one on C:\ small (currently 16Mb min/50Mb max) with the big one in its own partition on a separate drive. Strange! *Huh

    :)

    Something in Windows 10

    What in Windows 10 is eating up my 12G of data? My wireless router (home) is part of my Verizon cell phone plan. Verizon says my cell phone is using almost none of the 12G. It's my router. This started happening when my laptop downloaded Windows 10.
    I got hit with significant overage fees.

    Did the system come with 8.1 or did you upgrade from 7? If so it would have had a Windows.old which can be quite large. Cleanup would have gotten rid of that perhaps.

    Windows.old wasn't present in 8.1 at 48Gb. It formed when I installed 10, but I deleted it soon after. It's been quite a few years since I've done a clean install, even through various hardware changes. The original system goes back to XP, then 8.0 and 8.1, and finally 10. Never had Vista or 7 on it.

    Probably old windows update files and system restore points.
