What Is Causing My Hard Drive To Fill Up

Today we are going to take a look at how to manage your storage space and what is causing my hard drive to fill up. There is many reasons why your C drive keeps filling up. This can be caused due to malware, a over bloated WinSxS folder, hibernation which will create snapshots, system corruption, system restore, temporary files, other hidden files on the hard drive. I will show you step by step on how to free up drive space in windows 10. Not only will this speed up your pc, but it will get rid of hidden junk files.

Good tips for keeping the storage cleaned up Brian and I'm glad to hear you are doing better. Stay safe, bro!

You have a very good channel. You not only identify the files, but also explain why they need attention. Not everyone is as open and I also like knowing there are tools that help in rooting out wasted disk space. Not all are whiz kids and have all the answers. It’s refreshing when people like yourself and Nick Bunting to help out those who want to learn and appreciate the effort you guys make. There are more than a few who don’t share the why as well as the what. Two things are better for the understanding. We appreciate that for those learning to correct issues. Thank you for being open as well as informative! Stay safe my mates!😊👍🏻😷

Space Sniffer just saved my day. Thank you so much. Adobe Premiere Pro had a cache of over 170GB that I didn't know was happening.

Cool! Learned something new today. Not a huge thing, but very nice to know.

For any new VMware users out there, if you copy a large amount of data in and out of a VM, there may still be a copy of that stuff in your %temp% folder. If you've been wondering why your C: drive suddenly lost a dozen gigs of space, that's a very possible reason.

Good video, thank you. Yup you should always keep an eye on your storage. It will fill up, if you don’t do your housekeeping.

Nice video man !
Britec09 i have a problem every unity games crash for me you have any idea how to fix it?:(

[ProAutist]

I like to use CCleaner for such tasks as i can also do many other things with that piece of software. Also it is fine with just the free version.

[jasonhawkins]

Yes I use that a lot, before I use to look through the files to see which was the largest, even through %appdata%

"much more better way" spoken like a true Brit

Good video to check space in our sdd or hdd The "right" rules, thanks.

The cleaning software that is often scorned like Windows 10 manager do a good job of that

What I don’t understand is why my c drive automatically adds storage to random things after I delete everything. I’ll go from 60gb to 75gb and over night I’ll be back down to 70gb? I have a gaming pc and 32gb ram so maybe the ram is causing files to necessarily use space but I honestly have no idea. It’s constantly draining my storage even when I’m not doing anything. I’ll click out of the folders and come right back and be missing 300mb. Disk space or network not being used and pc not detecting virus. Is this normal?
