    I've done the obvious:Moved as many programs from C to D as possible Almost everything actually. I use C Cleaner to clear caches of browsers. Not sure if I can have the caches on D drive as well as the rest of the program. I've always hated the way Microsoft spews files all over the place instead of keeping everything to do with a program in one place. Right now Windows 7 64bit takes up about 25 gb according to Treesize and when I use DIR in CMD it says about 21 gb. Not sure if either is very accurate.

    • My windows 10 upgrade consumes all of it's drive c: space (50 GB)

    C Drive losing free space

    Hello,

    I have a new laptop. On 17/08/19, C:\ had 85GB free space out of 117 GB total. Every week, it is losing about 5GB free space, and currently stands at 66.7 GB. I do not understand why free space should be lost. Can someone please help?

    Here are salient items of information:

    1. 128 GB SSD drive + 1 TB mechanical drive
    2. Only 1 active windows user
    3. No system restore points, checked as per suggestions available on www.
    4. "Downloads" folder configured on D drive
    5. "Documents" folder configured on D drive
    6. New programs installed on D drive
    7. Anti virus scan run - no infection found
    8. Drive Statistics: 117 GB total, 66.7 GB free, 25.0 GB in 162,742 files / 35817 folders

    At this rate, the drive will fill up in 3 months. *Shock
