I built this PC last year around this time and I never had this issue until now. Yesterday my 250GB SSD space was 110 GB free. Today I checked my space and it was 14.2 GB free. I checked all my folders in the SSD and it seems to be in my "User" folder, under my user. I look through it and there is about 20GB in the folder, but when I go to the User folder and check the properties it shows 97GB... I don't know where this space is!!!!

This is Win8.1. I found out the issue. I had hidden files. I unhid all these files and I found out there was 70GB in my Temp folder. Is there anyway to move the temp folder to my storage drive with 500GB available?

Just delete that junk.
Windows often has issues moving things like that.

Well..what were you doing last night? :lol:

Even just leaving a browser open, with some website that does an automatic refresh, and has ads or maybe autoplay video....that can do it.
