Windows 10: Why is my hard drive space suddenly empty?

Why is my hard drive space suddenly empty? Yesterday my hard drive bar was red, I didn't see the exact amount but the bar was red and almost full. But today the blue bar is still almost full but it's blue and it says I have 23/237 today. I also ran the disk cleanup for windows a few days ago but it said it will only clear up like 5 gb of space on my hard drive.

Overclock your hard drive!!!

Heres a much easier hack that I realized quite a few years ago that really does work!

REQUIREMENTS:

• Hard drive with molex power connection.
• PSU with more than 1 strand that has molex plugs on it.
• Wire strippers, soldering iron if you're fancy, electrical tape if you're not.

STEPS:

• Take the strand of connectors from your PSU, and decide which one will be the donator for this overclocking adventure.
• Cut the yellow and orange cables, then twist them together.
• Find the power connector you've chosen as the overclocking connector, and release the orange cable from the connector. Now use your preferred method to bind them together, then place it back together.
• Plug in a drive and feel the speed!

Congratulations! You've just overclocked your hard drive!
