Hi everyone, I'm trying to figure out what is happening to my laptop and I think my knowledge alone won't cut it so here I am asking for wisdom..
The issue itself is fairly simple:
I copied a bunch of files (approx. 300Gb total), from my media server to an external HD connectred to my laptop. Once the transfer was done, I realised I had no space left on my C drive!
The files copied just fine, I can see them on my external HD, but somehow, the copying must have left something on my C drive, because I lost roughly 100Gb on it.
I tried everything I could think of, rebooting, virus and malware scans, clear temp folders (win\temp and %user%temp), run ccleaner, nothing seems to answer my question.. What ate my C drive space and how do I get it back?
Thank you all for your help
