Hey again guys, i have a weird problem

C:\ Drive always full, can't find what is filling it ? There is nothing there. I had 15 GB free...installed some games on D:\ now C:\ is full. I do not understand what is consuming the space, i select everything in C:\ and all of it takes 30 GB, my C partition is 100 GB what is taking the space ? Cache ?

How to fix this ? thx

Change your page file to a fixed size. If you don't use the hibernate function, diasabling hibernate will delete the hidden hiberfil.sys file. Reduce the size of your trash can or empty the trash. You can also shrink the amount of reserved space for restore points. I think the default is 12% of your drive.

borrow a linux distro live cd from a friend: boot up and run disk usage manager
it gives you a GUI on what is using your drive and does not hide system files like how windows would not allow programs access to certain areas
