We'll keep an eye out to your response.

 

System & reserved taking up over 100GB of space

My computer was warning me about having limited space left, so I checked what was taking up space on my PC and saw this





I saw somebody recommend TreeSize to look into what was taking up space and saw this





The installer folder and srudb.dat are taking up >80gb all by themselves which can't be normal at all. Is there any way to fix this?

 

100GB of free cloud storage!

That's right! 100GB free cloud storage for life! The company is called Zoolz. The catch is that Zoolz uses Amazon's 'Glacier' which is a "Cold Storage" service, and they are only offering it free for the first 1 million users that sign up here.

You're probably wondering what is "Cold Storage"? It just means your files are not accessible instantly. You will have to wait up to 3 to 5 hours for an email confirming that your files are ready for download. Now you can purchase a subscription for instant file access if you want for a small price. *Toast :toast:


EDIT: I already use Google Drive's 100gb storage and this looks to be a great way to backup a backup? hehehe
