My C: Drive keeps permantly losing space.

I am running now on Win 10 Pro and I have the problem, that my main harddrive keeps permantly losing space. I am using a 128 gb SSD and now i am down to some MBs. Normaly I have around 30-40 GB free space. I let a malware software run because my first idea
was any kind of malware or virus but it was clean and the harddrive keeps still losing space.

Any Ideas how i could solve this problem?

 

Try WinDirStat to determine where/what is taking up the space

 

Hi XMEzy:

Do you have CCleaner installed? Looks like there may be an automatic Drive Wipe happening.

 

I have AVG 2016 and whats an automatic disc wipe

With CCleaner, it essentially fills the free space on your hard drive with 0 byte 'sleeper files' to overwrite deleted data. That's why the drive appears to run out of space rapidly.
When the process is done you will retrieve your space back plus, perhaps a little extra space.

 

I wasn't encouraging you to run a Drive Wipe!
I thought that a Drive Wipe was happening on your machine due to your screenshot!

 

well then what do i do because it only started on tuesday

 

It would be helpful to know what file(s) are taking up the space, are you able to run WinDirStat (free DL) or similar?

 

yeh i can run it. Dont know how to use it

 

Run the app, select the drive(s) you wish to examine (all or individual) and then click OK
In the lower pane you will then see a representation of how the space is allocated, bigger the area of colour, bigger the space taken up
Click the larger areas and you will see the folders/files (drill down from the top pane)
This will allow you to determine what files/folders are occupying the space and to take any remedial action
