    Slowly Losing Driver Space on WINDOWS 10


    Recently I've been slowly losing disc space on my WIN-10 C drive and I can't find a reason why. The last time I checked which was about 2 days ago, I had 38/237 GB, but now it's 17.4 and slowly going down 17.3, 17.2, 17.1, etc. I've tried removing apps/folders that are no longer in use but I'm still slowly losing space.

    :)

    Slowly Losing Driver Space on WINDOWS 10

    Hi, typical things that might progressively take space like that could be .wer, .log, .dmp or perhaps .tmp files.
    Others have sometimes reported issues related to System restore.

    .dmp files can be large, and if a particular program keeps crashing, perhaps silently, these can be in a folder not normally cleaned.

    As Freebooter says Treesize could help- I like Wiztree, free, updates periodically offered.

    Here you can immediately see dmp files created by an annoying crash my Family Tree program is subject to when deleting entries in a certain way:

    - and diagonally down, left some tmp files.

    You can try a fast indexing search tool such as Locate32 or the popular but more resource hungry Everything to find files over a certain size newer than a certain date. This might show you what's progressively taking space.
