| 1350885 | 2013-08-08 07:44:00 | Every so often with no obvious cause, my Win 7 C: drive fills right up - down to less than 10mb free of 102gb. If I reboot, I'm back to 54gb free. So there would appear to be some temporary file(s) being created, but there is nothing going on that I can see that would be doing it. How would I find what/where these files are? Any ideas as to what might be doing it? |

| 1350886 | 2013-08-08 07:49:00 | Could be system restore. Use ccleaner and remove the temp files etc | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1350887 | 2013-08-08 08:42:00 | Use TreeSize or something while it's full to see what's using the space. | inphinity (7274) | ||

| 1350889 | 2013-08-08 09:36:00 | Well if its on it does use space | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1350890 | 2013-08-08 09:42:00 | Well if its on it does use spaceBut what I'm not understanding is why it should occasionally rise so excessively when usually there is 50gb free. | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1350891 | 2013-08-08 09:44:00 | Errr, look at post#3. Why guess? | linw (53) | ||
| 1350892 | 2013-08-08 09:45:00 | Use TreeSize or something while it's full to see what's using the space.I didn't know about Treesize. I've installed it and it looks like it will do exactly what I need - thanks. I feared I was going to have to a "dir" from the C: command prompt.:mad: :crying: | Tony (4941) | ||
| 1350893 | 2013-08-08 10:02:00 | This is the sort of actions of a very old virus, they had a snowball effect, so called named because once running they just kept on getting bigger and bigger filling the drive up with crap till the drive was full. | wainuitech (129) | ||

MSE certainly hasn't picked anything up, and I'm pretty careful about what I download/install. It will be interesting to see what Treesize shows next time it happens. | Tony (4941) | ||
