Hi all. Please help me understand what's going on with my hard drive; I'm afraid I'm losing files and have no way of understanding why or what is happening.
I'm on an HP PC running Win7, and I recently signed up for a trial run of Carbonite, the online backup system. A few days ago, just before starting the Carbonite trial, I had 138GB free on the built-in C: drive, and as the days go by, I'm mysteriously gaining hard drive space. I now have 142GB free, and I haven't manually deleted ANYTHING. I've contacted Carbonite, but they told me the obvious answer of "We only back up your files, we don't remove them from your system...blah blah blah." So what's happening? I practice safe web habits and use Kasperski Pure 2.0, and have no viruses that I know of, and I'm not on a shared network or anything.
How am I gaining space and where are my files going? Just as importantly, how do I figure out what files are missing?
