    Hello and thankyou, anyone, for reading this and attempting to help me. Recently Ive been noticing that I've been running out of disk space a lot forcing me to delete my other files just to free up enough space for new ones. I looked into TreeSize and it's telling me 318.5GBOn space sniffer it tells me 404.9. I was wondering if this was correct and if not what I can do to fix it.

    System Taking Like All of my space ._.

    Windows File Explorer is not great at finding out where your hard drive space is being used . . .

    • Click HERE to download a small free utility Called TreeSize.
    • Run that utility as Administrator
    • Point it to your C Drive
    • Let the list of files/folders build
    • Expand out the folder(s) that are taking all your hard drive space
    • Please provide a screenshot of the resulting window in order for us to make a better analysis of what is happening with your system and suggest a remedy
