  1. My C Drive keeps filling for no reason, even after deleting a few big files.


    Here's a problem that I'm overwhelmed haven't found a solution to. I've researched the problem for a while now and haven't found the right answer. My laptop for some reason keeps filling up even if I deleted some files, how do I know my Drive is filling up? Every time my chrome or any program freezes, that's where my C Drive fills up for no reason, sort of like a Parasite inside my C Drive.


    I ran the WinDirStat utility but it's not showing any right answers, all of this was really sudden, anyone knows what's happening to my laptop? pls im scared



    note: I've also tried revealing hidden folders, but found nothing.

    :)

    C Drive Keeps Filling Up

    Thanks. Extremely interesting article. I followed the steps as outlined, but when I was as the step to Stop the Windows Modules Installer Service, it was already stopped. So I was not quite sure how to proceed, so I abandoned the process. Since I had
    already manually deleted most of the cab files, I now have 190 GB free space. I will closely monitor the free space to see how quickly it fills up, and if it fills up as quickly as the article suggests might happen, I will try again to follow the instructions
    to see if I can get it to work. With the service already stopped, and set to Manual, if I get to that point again, do you have any suggestions on how to proceed? Thanks again for this very insightful article -- it sure explains a lot.
