About 20 minutes ago, I had just over 1 GB of disk space. But then, I noticed that I was losing several MB every second, even though I wasn't downloading anything. Currently, I only have 200 KB. Is there any way to figure out what is sucking up my disk space?

EDIT: After slowing down for a while, it came back and there is no more space on my disk left.

Check settings of your security and monitoring -- ensure such are not too assertively set as to scanning/logging.
And, check settings of the System Restore Points byte-space allocation -- that could also account for the low free space.

Details, please.
What OS, what size and type drive(s).

1GB free space on ANY drive is not a good thing.
But that is almost certainly just temp files sucking up that teeny bit of free space.
