    win 10 - C Drive gaining free space without me doing anything


    HI, I have 512G ssd which I cleaned and removed some softwares and saw that free space was 51G. Today, I rebooted, in win explorer, I saw free spcae was 46G, 5 hours later, it went down to 36G....without me doing anything, no new software, no data copied, I have no malware nor viruses.However, when I run WINDIRSTAT it shows that the drive is only 256G so almost half the capacity. I am really confused. Thanks for your help

    :)
