I have my hard drive partitioned into a System Drive (C) and a Document Drive (E).
Recently, the system told me that my C drive was nearly full. So I increased its size from 20G to 25G. (Also ran Windows system clean up, CCleaner clean up, emptied Recycle Bin, etc.)
Practically overnight, the system was telling me the 25g was nearly full. Could I have acquired nearly 5G so fast?
When I use "properties" on C Drive it tells me I have used around 23.5g.
When I examine the contents of C Drive, adding up each file, I get only about 8G.
When I run a newly acquired program called WinDirStat I am told I have used about 13G.
I had thought that the problem was caused by annoyingly frequent updates (windows, adobe, avast, etc., etc.) but now I don't know.
What is going on? I am thinking about wiping the partition and reinstalling the OS, but would like to avoid that.
