Hello, I just recently bought a computer with 2 drives, a 120gb SSD C: drive, and a 1tb D: Hard drive. However, I've been checking recently, and every now and then throughout the day, I have an unexplained loss of memory on my C: drive! It went from 79.2 gb to 59 over the last 2 weeks until I noticed it and cleared up some space. I managed to get it to 63.6 gb, by cleaning it via CCleaner and Disk Cleanup. Then, I turned off the paging file for the C: drive, and switched it over to my D: drive, thinking the problem would be resolved. Nope.
I am now looking at WinDirStat on the admin account, and it's showing me that only 36.7 gb are being taken up, with 62.8 gb free, but that only adds up to 99.5gb/the 111gb it shows in the device and drives menu for the C: drive? It's driving me crazy that I can't find the reason I am continuously losing data. Also, it says that WinSxS takes up 6.6gb, system 32 4.1gb, sysWOW64 1.3gb, Microsoft.net 696.2gb, so on and so forth. I don't want to delete anything randomly because I really don't want to screw anything up.
My Specs: Windows 8.1
16gb RAM
1tb RAM
120 gb SATA
Thanks in advance, Rudy.
