I'll get straight to the point. My C: Drive is a Samsung SSD 128GB. For a few months now, I have losing space by the second to the point where my SSD is full. I largely ignored the issue up until now. I would constantly delete stuff, but the extra soon gets taken by something else. By now I should have 40GB of free space but it's all taken up by something unknown to me. I tried looking into the system restore saves, but there were no backups so I can't tell what is taking up my space. Every time I delete something, I lose that space by the second. If I have 10GB of free space, I lose that 10GB in 10 minutes for some odd reason... Help!!!!!


Just some extra info if it helps.
- I game a lot on this computer, but I put all my game stuff on other HDD and SSD Storage Devices.
- Awhile back, I had a terrible malware issue to the point where I had to run 5 different anti-virus/anti-malware softwares to fully clean out my computer (not sure if this would still affect my computer today though).
- I looked at my task manager recently and it seems that the only thing taking up my space is a program called "Systems" but I have no clue what this is....
 
Hi there LegendaryLeader,

So you have deleted previous restore points right? Another thing you may do is to just reduce the space allocated for that. Try to set it to minimum and see whether this will make any difference.
In case it doesn't, then I guess you can use some third party tool that can analyze disk space. This will eventually show you what is eating up the free space.

Cheers,
