Over the past few days I have been noticing that I am loosing hard drive space daily. Yesterday I had 438GB now I have 434 GB. I have a Samsung 750GB and a 120 GB WD. I am only loosing space in the 750GB one. When I select all my folder everything adds up to about 160 gb, are there hidden files that I can't see that are getting bigger. I know that indexing and system restore all take up space but 4 GB a day more? I don't think its a virus because AVG and S&D don't report anything.


I do play games and I know that "SAVE GAME" takes up space too but I deleted most of the old ones so its not that.
I have VISTA PREMIUM 32 BIT.

I looked into this and some other people have this issue. They mentioned SHADOW STORAGE, is this a VISTA issue or is this normal.

THANKS IN ADVANCE
 
Solution
usually it turns out to be system restore - if it keeps happening then maybe you have an issue but I'd be shocked if you keep losing space - just watch it a few more days and see
