Hello guys, i'm getting sick of this problem guys :pfff: coz before one week my disk space was 41.5GB free out of 89.5GB But now it is 29.1GB remaining only out of 89.5GB:( :(. Guys i have tried CCleaner but it didn't work also only cleared 500MB :/ And i usually install all of my big games and other big software's in Local Disk:-E. So guys plzzz tell me how it is happening and what can i do? and i really haven't not installed any big game or anything on my C Drive i have checked it so plzzz help me guys.
And my IDM and Utorrent downloaded destination folders belongs to Local Disk:-F not to C Drive

Try WinDirStat. It's a tiny free program that gives a visual representation of everything on your drive.

I'm going to assume you've also cleared your download folders as well.

But what I've found to be the case is that there will be a massive "installer" folder in the windows directory. I don't know much about it, but I know that the greater the variety of software you've installed, the bigger this gets. Regardless of where you installed it. So when you install a game on E:, it probably installs a few specific directX packages, some visual c++ runtimes, maybe OpenAL, etc. And each of these adds more data to this install folder on C:. It is NOT safe to delete, however.

I would just get WinDirStat or TreeSize running. If something is...
