    Just upgraded. Problem with disk space at 100%


    It seems like it's reading files in my music folder in C:\My Documents, even though I'm not playing the song, but Groove is open. I guess that it's trying to sync up my music with album covers or something.

    True as other person said, why so many of WWAHost.exe processes for Users/MyDocuments can be reasons for high disk activity.
    Article explains that this process is used for apps in Windows 8.1 http://www.groovypost.com/tips/wwaho...ning-or-virus/
    Are you using any cloud service, One Drive ?

    Check the process tab in task manager, go through list will show you what is open now, also look at startup tab see how many items are starting up too. Unless changed options in Groove to do this.Are you using a music service ?

    Looks o.k. , was some bad sectors only 8MB.Still good to run after the upgrade. Windows 7 was preinstalled and did upgrade from the downloaded files to your PC ?

    Ok I'll repost it because it's important. Please include this in the FAQAlmost all of my 110 GB SSD drive was full after the upgrate to w10. But the culprit was not Windows: Kapsersky alone took a whopping 87 Gb, then Skype 27 Gb (never use Skype on this machine and it wasn't even installed!), then a virus called Norton (a software which infects almost every computer in the world and pass for an antivirus) also 20 Gb, and other things. So be carefull! Delete the huge folders in question in "C:\ProgramData". If you don't use the programs which have a folder in C:\ProgramData, you can delete it. But do not delete folders for program which you are still using, or if they are realy excessively large, ininstall the program, delete the folder (if still necessary), then reinstall the program. Good luck.

    I'm bumping this because I'm still having issues. Does anybody know how these activities can cause 100% disk space?

    Even when all the activities are down to Chrome and System and the disk space read/write is < 100kb, I'm getting 100% disk space.

    To me you failed 2 HDD tests, so it seems to point towards this as your issue. Did we ever discuss trying if it happens in safe mode ?
    Even Chrome alone a lot of activity from Chrome as i use Firefox and do not see this while running this monitor.
