    User folder loop eating up hard drive space


    I installed Windows 10 a few weeks ago, but today I noticed that my 1TB hard drive only had 50GB left, despite it only being ~400GB full before the install. I ran Disk Cleanup and removed as much as I could, but it only cleared an additional 100GB. I then ran WinDirStat, and this is what I got:

    Is this normal? My user folder seems to be looping.

    As far as I can tell, the $OF folder is for backups. I've disabled File Backup, and deleted everything except for the latest file version (I would clear everything if I could), but it didn't make much difference. I'm really not sure what's going on.

    :)

    C Drive filling up automatically

    After downloading TreeSize I see that my Users folder in the C drive is eating up about 202G

    MY photos take up about 93GB

    but there is another folder taking up a lot of space under Users > my name> App Data > Roaming > Apple Computer > Mobile Sync

    I don't sync my apple phone to my windows computer... is it safe to delete this file??

    Thanks!
