Admin Bubbaloo - Reusable P Cup 3028 Posted June 7, 2018 Admin Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Hey NERDS (starting with @McDili ). Lately my computer has been randomly eating SSD space. I can start with 80GB and 2 hours later it is screaming "ran out of disk space". I thought it was some sort of shitty program (scam) telling me my memory was low but I looked into my actual drive and I was down to 80MB and sometimes 0 bytes!. Anyone know what gives? I have done a lot of research but I just gave up, haven't found anything helpful. Maybe time to just reformat my C: drive? Quote Link to comment
Guest Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Really have no clue what's goin on there. Only thing I know that does that is when recording shit. Quote Link to comment

KrispyK 22 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Take a screenshot of your program files directory and the I think (64x) one. Not at my computer Quote Link to comment
Jax 30 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Download windirstat and it makes a visual picture of what's eating up space 1 Quote Link to comment
KrispyK 22 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Or just sort by file size 1 Quote Link to comment
drraison 36 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 (edited) Yeah what Krispy said. I've had this exact same issue before. My available disk size continued to decrease. I ended up sorting through the different folders on my drive to figure out where the files were loading into. (I think this issue is to do with some background application being stuck on a download and downloading the same corrupted files over and over again.) Check your task manager to see what apps you are running that might be updating aswell. Nvidia exp/ spotify / discord / etc. I was led into my downloads folder and after deleting select few it stopped. My advise is to check the modified date to figure out what is being downloaded.

KrispyK 22 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Also purge you downloads directory, it adds up. Also try CCLEANER (It was hacked awhile ago look up to see if it's Gucci before you download) 1 Quote Link to comment

Kitui 145 Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 You could have something on your PC copying program files to use up disc space, I would run some antivirus / antimalware scans / rootkits all that fun stuff. Quote Link to comment
