    Random hidden programs kept eating up GBs of my C:/ drive


    A few days ago, my C drive suddenly dropped gigabytes at a fast rate. I found that random exes from my installed programs kept eating up my storage like crazy. Some programs include iTunesHelper.exe, SECOMN64, and more. I tried removing them through Task manager, but they kept coming back sporadically, and kept taking away my main storage. As a result, browsers like Opera GX either show a low memory page, or flat out close all together. What is going on? And more importantly, is there a solution to this madness?!
