    Storage decrease


    I'm having a bit of trouble with the fluctuations with the amount of free space on my OS. I already had a live agent and a level 2 technician look at the issue yesterday but the issue still persists. Ever since, I updated Windows on Friday, the amount of free space on my OS went up from 106-109 GB to 137-143 GB. At least, immediately after start up. However, after some time of activating my computer, the GB of free space would gradually start to decrease. It decreased slowly before but now it seems to be decreasing faster as it is already at 139 GB about 10 minutes after start up now. I am aware that the free GB would fluctuate but I noticed it would only be by about 1-2 GB and would go back to the full amount from time to time. Some of the issues that may have been causing it, as explained by the live agent and level 2 technician, may have been due to the OneDrive syncing being unknowingly activated or having the "Hibernate" option activated under the power options. Those have been deactivated but the problem persists.

    storage space rapidly decreasing

    Thank you very much for responding. I will definitely try your suggestion. I did however want to make a point of the fact that the storage space is Constantly decreasing in size. So even if I find a program taking up space-what could possibly cause it
    to KEEP taking up space? so its not an issue of- a program was installed and is very big taking up a chunk of space-the issue is something is consistently eating away my 1TB hard drive. again-new computer. Thanks for your help.
