    My C drive space keeps decreasing [​IMG]Hello users,


    My issue is that 4 days ago, I had 46GB around space free in my C drive. Next day, it decreased to 43GB and keeps on decreasing and today its 38GB.


    I didn't install any software, nor i did anything on C drive. I tried cleaning using diskcleanup, c cleaner everything but t remains same.

    Where did my 9(46-38)=8GB space gone?


    I downloaded a software called TREESIZE FREE to analyze the disk usage and I found some issues.


    I have attached screenshot.


    Can anyone confirms this:


    1) WINDOWS folder is of 18GB which consists of some big sized folders. What is the size of your WINDOWS folder guys?


    2) Why there is a no_icon folder of 13.5GB space which has som .sys files? Are these necessary to keep or not?

    If not, how should i remove them to free up my C drive space?


    3) In PROGRAM FILES > WINDOWSAPPS folder, we can see multiple versions of same app (for e.g. I have 3 folders of ASPHALT9 app which has taken almost 5.4GB space). This has caused to take up most of the space. How to get rid of useless older versions of such app folders?


    4) In PROGRAM FILES (x86), two folders, MICROSOFT OFFICE and ADOBE has taken up 2.4GB and 1.6GB respectively. This is so huge? Are they having some old uselss files in it? Can i get rid of some space here?


    5) USERS folder is also too bulky with 5GB space taken up. It's subfolder APPDATA size is 3.5GB and LOCAL is of 2.9GB. Can i free up some spaces here?


    Please see the screenshot carefully and let me know where can i save space.


    Thanks.

    :)

    c drive space decrease

    Hello,

    This behavior can occur when System Restore is turned on on your computer. System Restore uses a portion of the hard disk to store "restore points." These restore points are used by System Restore to return your computer to an earlier state.

    System Restore creates a new restore point each time that you start the computer.

    We suggest following advised steps to resolve issue in our support page regarding sorting

    Update us with the outcome.

    Regards.

  4. My C drive space keeps decreasing

    Help! My C drive space is decreasing!

    When I first bought my HP laptop it had 498 GB space on C drive. After I updated to Windows 10 it decreased a lot but now I'm worried because it says it is only 443 GB!

    I have 136 GB available out of 443 GB but it supposed to be almost 500 GB!

    Where is my space going and why it is decreasing? Is there anyway to recover the lost space?
