  1. Windows 11: C Drive randomly losing space


    Hi! I've been experiencing a problem with my C Drive: it’s randomly losing space. For example, these days I had 103 GB of free space my cdisk’s fully capacity is 236GB, then randomly goes to 102, 101, 100, 99 and after a while it goes back to 101, then it goes back to 99, changes to 100 and the process of losing space repeats over and over again… Keep in mind that I haven’t downloaded anything, and I’m always cleaning up the cookies of the browser, so I can’t understand why I’m losing space, when I think it shouldn’t happen.Also, one of these days I had more than 110 GB of free space, but af

  2. Keep on randomly losing space on my C drive

    So recently I cleared up around 30 GB of space on my c drive and which is a lot for me as I had around 9GB before. But I've been noticing that I just randomly lose space without even downloading anything. I would notice it while browsing through my computer and I would see I would lose around 100-500 MB of storage but today when I logged onto my computer I had lost around 10 GB of storage overnight. I haven't downloaded anything and usually don't because my C drive only has only around 128 Gb of storage. if someone could please help me I would appreciate it.

    C: drive progressively loses space

    Hello,

    My C: drive is progressively losing space the longer my computer is on. I am currently experiencing the worst example of it so far, which has prompted me to post this support request.

    • Three hours ago, I turned my computer on. C: had 32GB of free space.
    • Thirty minutes ago, I received a 'low disk space' warning. C: had been reduced to 0 bytes.
    • I moved 3.6GB of personal files to an external drive. After checking in 'This PC', however, C: showed just 2.2GB of free space.
    • At the time of writing, C: now has 1.3GB of space remaining. This will occasionally drop in increments of 50MB to 100MB. It will also sometimes stabilise for a short time before continuing to drop again.
    The only programs I have used in the past three hours are Chrome, Firefox, Foxtel Go (a streaming application), and Media Player Classic. It does not seem to matter which applications I use - if I use any applications at all - for the space to continue disappearing. Malwarebytes has not discovered any threats, either, and nothing appears to be abnormal in Task Manager.

    How can I figure out what is going on? Can anyone help, or suggest anything? This is incredibly frustrating and inconveniencing as you can imagine.

    Thank you in advance.

    Computer: Toshiba Satellite
    Processor: Intel Core i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz
    System type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
    Operating system: Windows 10 Pro
