my SSD space for windows keeps disappearing, i just finished reinstalling windows and it keeps doing it, its a couple of MB at a time. but if i restart windows it comes back. i dont know what to do, or if this is normal

Probably the swap file resizing or if you have hybernation enabled it could be that as well.
Unless you get really low on space I wouldn't worry about it.

Alternatively if you have a data drive set the swap file to be stored on there and disable hibernation.

If you just installed the OS today, it is going through some updates. Leave it be for a few days.

yes but this happened before, it would lose like a 2-3gb randomly and when i restarted it would comeback, started doing it about a month ago, thats why i reinstalled windows (it just stopped, its not doing it again but some info for future reference would be appreciated)
