    Storage in C drive is filling on its own


    I'm on Windows 10 Home version 2004 and facing this strange behavior since yesterday that the storage in C drive is automatically getting filled. I've cleaned up unnecessary files using storage sense & tried deleting the restore point as well. However, after deleting the restore point, I've gained some space but it's only for some time as the space started filling again.

    :)

  2. My C drive keeps filling up by its own (Windows 10)

    The space on my C drive (system drive) is disappearing, but im not installing anything. It has 120GB, and is only ment to contain Windows.

    I have another drive with 1TB for everything else.

    I am not downloading, installing, or doing anything that could cause my C drive to fill up.

    I have tried to find a solution, but without success.

    I have seen people saying its system restoring filling the drive, but i always disable that.

    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.
