  1. space in file explorer went down by about 11 gb in overnight


    so yesterday file explorer said my hard drive hat 35 gb left, and i just checked it again this morning while logging on to online school and for some reason it is now on 45.9 gb left. Im kinda happy that i have so much more free space i guess, but its kinda strange, and i havent realy deleted any big files.

    Any comments woud be much appreciated!
