Ok my terabyte hard-drive is full, so I do what any normal person would do and run disk clean up, The thing though The disk clean up says it can clean over 600 gigs of space. I was a little shocked and I realized all of that space was being taken up by temp files. That makes me wonder whatit could be in there as i deleted all my temp files less then a month ago. I tried running anite-malware and It wouldn't work any more. I did the whole chameleon antimalware, Took for ever and still didn't work. Im a little worried about what could be taking up all the space on my hard-drive. Any one have any tips? Note I can't delete any of the temps that are taking up the space.
 
Hi there dantexfox,

By saying "wouln't work" you mean won't start or will not detect anything wrong? If the program will just not start, you can try to run it as an administrator. If this doesn't work as well, I guess you can install some other anti malware tool.
