    My C disk goes from 128 gbs free to 0 in a matter of minutes the shocking thing is that my laptop cant handle such speed. I turn off my wifi, it goes back to normal, once i turn it back on this shit still continues. I haven't visited any mallicious websites, and havent downloaded anything suspicious. My AVG antivirus hasn't noticed anything weird aswell, which makes this more or a mystery for me. What is the reason behind this?

  2. Size of "C:/system volume information" file size jumping to +9Gb for no reasons on an SSD drive

    In your subject line you said this:

    Size of "C:/system volume information" file size jumping to +9Gb for no reasons on an SSD drive

    This statement is incorrect. The TreeSize picture you posted says that this folder consumes 4.3 MBytes. This is 2,000 times less than what you think.

    Here are the folders that consume the most disk space:

    • 10.3 GBytes - Program files
    • 24.2 GBytes - Windows
    • 6.5 GBytes - Users
    This is very reasonable and represents no cause for concern.

  3. C drive filling for no apparent reason

    Hello, these few days I have been continuously using disk cleanup and deleting junk in the temp files to free up space in my C drive. After that, it only saved up around 3 GB of space which were then used up again, and my drive is almost full again. I
    am not downloading any programs or anything, so I have no reason why it keeps filling up. When I try to clean up now, I'll only be saving KB's of space, and the temp files are not filled with junk. Please help.

    Simply listing apps that you don't have to use as a reason not to use Win10 is silly, IMO. If you listed bugs then that would be a valid reason.
