    SSD Drive C keeps filling up while playing games on Origin


    I have my games and origin installed on my 1TB HDD Drive D. However, whenever I play games, eg. Apex on Origin, My 256GB SSD Drive C with 17GB free space keeps filling up and sometimes it goes up till it only have 200MB free space which eventually close the game in the middle of a match with a popup "Not enough Space on your computer". And whenever I finished my gaming session and closed the game and origin, it went down back to 17GB free space. Can someone tell me why this is happening and how to prevent it?And I have seen some people on reddit talking about the same issues with different gam

    SSD storage keeps filling up on its own

    Hi Ash,

    There's a possibility that the files are just hidden. As an initial troubleshooting, we suggest following the steps below on how to display hidden files that's eating space of your SSD:

    • On the Search bar, type folder, and then select
      Show hidden files and folders from the search results.
    • Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives,
      and then select OK.

    Keep us in the loop with the result.

    SSD keeps filling up

    Hey Carlos

    So i just did reinstall my windows operating system, through windows it self. And before i did it, the problem wasn't there.

    And by slowly filling up, i mean that over time the SSD (or c drive) is being filled up with files. But when i look in the c drive, nothing has changed. And yes i have done so i can see all the hidden folders. Its a 120gb SSD and the windows installation
    fills up around 30-40gbit, so the rest is free space. It is slowly filling up the ~80gb up over 4-5 hours. Then when i restart the pc is back to the ~80gb of free space and slowly fills up again.
