    Need help with my C: Drive filling up by itself! Please help

    Recently I’ve been having issues with my C: Drive filling up by itself for no apparent reason. I presumed the worst and thought it was a malware attack, so I hard reset the PC after backing up important files I had, but the problem still persists.

    I also notice that the hard disk in question tends to fill up only while I’m using an application, let’s say a game. While I’m active in a game it slowly tends to fill itself up, and this bothers me. I cannot find the cause of it after multiple virus scans as well, as my antivirus couldn’t find any threats in the system. This concerns me greatly. Please help me deal with this situation.

    is it updates, backups, game saves, system temp folders, etc?
    get WizTree from here; https://diskanalyzer.com/ and scan your drive for the folders taking up the most space.
