So, I noticed my C-drive increased by 10 GBs at some point. I recently added some RAM, increasing from 8GBs to 16GBs, but I wouldn't think that would increase the data on my C-drive. Also, I recently had a Windows update, but I've never had one that added 10GBs. So, I am at a loss at what could be causing this. I didn't notice it until after the update though. Any ideas?

The hibernation file needs to be equal to the size of your RAM, by memory. If you add 8GiB of RAM, it will take up an extra 8GiB.
I was doing a little digging and read this as well, so I will assume this is the culprit. I had no idea adding ram would downsize my disk space. So, is it safe to assume that if I disable hibernation, I will get 16 GBs back? I never put my computer into hibernation, it is either running, sleeping, or off, so no need to keep hibernation active. Thanks.
