    Free Space on SSD C drive drops about 10-15 GB every hour - Win 7 Pro SP1 64 bit

    Good day/evening,
    Just recently, the Free Space on my SSD C drive drops approx 10-15 GB every hour, reaching 0 GB at some point later in the day.
    Maybe something to do with Pagefile settings?
    I did receive help from your forum last week & maybe a setting was altered and not changed back to its original state.

    About an hour later free space now 149 GB.
    [ATTACH]964[/ATTACH]

    Let me know what can be done.
    thanks for your help,

    Paul

    Please download MiniToolBox and save it to your desktop. Run the program by right clicking on it and selecting Run as administrator. When the program opens select the following boxes:

    List Winsock Entries
    List last 10 Event Viewer Errors
    List Installed Programs
    List Devices (Only Problems)
    List Users, Partitions and Memory size

    Please post the log in your next reply

      Hi jmarket,
      Thanks for the quick reply.
      I just realized that I haven’t run the DelFix Tool yet as recommended by malnutrition to clean things up. Don’t know if that has any bearing.

      Here is the log …

              It’s at 128 GB now, but I’ve seen it over 160 GB. The C drive is used only for the OS, not storing anything else on it, so should be much higher.
              The Document & Settings folder is locked, which is strange.

                  Are you by any chance using Hibernation? That will chew quite a few GB of space, especially if it’s System managed

                  Windows will usually eat some space, but not gigabytes until it’s 0. It sounds like there might be foul play here.

                  Try using Space Sniffer. It’s free and will allow you to see visually what’s eating your space and if it matches what Windows tells you. Give it a try

                    No, this is a desktop. I believe hibernation is only available on laptops. I’ll try space sniffer.
                    Foul play? Oh-oh…

                      Hibernation is available on both desktops and laptops It’s like sleep mode but will actually shut down windows and power off then resume where it left off

                      Another program you might wanna try is WinDirStat It’s free also, and it will actually tell you what file(s) are eating your space. After doing more research, it sounds like a cache file is to blame.

                        OK. I know malnutrition recommended that it be removed on my laptop to save space, don’t remember if I also removed that function on this desktop, but it’s not showing in the Shut Down menu.

                              I’ve run SpaceSniffer and the area circled in red is constantly flashing/changing so that, overtime, the Free Space area in green is slowly
                              reduced.
