    *THIS IS NOT A VIRUS. I HAVE USED MULTIPLE ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARES AND NONE HAVE FLAGGED ANYTHING UP.*A few weeks ago, I decided to uninstall Sims 4 because it was about 22gb's and I needed space in my trash bag that is a dell laptop. Fast forward to now, I only have 3 out of the 22gb's that were deleted from the game, and sometimes it just fills up or i just get 10gbs out of nowhere. I have only downloaded VLC Player for dvds, and thats only 1gb. I haven't installed any large updates or stuff like that, I don't have a clue how this could happen, and I need some space quickly for animation program

    What's eating up my \C: drive?

    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.
