I have been trying to solve this problem for awhile now, and I am at a loss for words. I have tried multiple things, i have scanned with my malwarebytesPRO that iv had for quite awhile, as well as bitdefender that I downloaded a trial of just yesterday and did a scan, it found 7 infected cookies that it deleted tha was all. I have ccleaner. and its wiping the free space as i type this.
I also have a program called 'TreeSize Free' which I will be shoing screenshots of in a moment. It basically scans my entire hard drive and shows files and folder sizes from everything even hibernating system file and the system page file, its a useful tool to see whats taking up the most space on your computer.
Now my problem here is, I have been randomly loosing free space on my hard drive. I have no idea why, for example I had 5gb of free space(this was well into my noticing of this weird stuff and trying to figure it out) and then within 5 hours(while i was gone at work) i was at 0 bytes when i got home. I then closed two chrome tabs and i jumped to 5mb, I then did nothing but get up and get a drink and I then had 7mb.
This is where it gets really weird, and where my the title of my post makes sense. Below will be two screenshots, first will be a before. taken before Sometime in the evening way before going to bed. The second will be of the next day in the morning after sleeping and some game playing.
Now as you can see from the two screenshots i go from 340GB(approx) to 343GB(approx) so that means 3gb of stuff was added to the harddrive over what id guess would be at least 12 hours, thats nothign suspicious, BUT if you look at the available freespace calculated at the bottom of the picture between then two, you will see that there is a difference of 20GB! NOT 3GB! I go from having 34.3GB of free space to 14.4GB of free space. This was a couple days ago.
These pictures are current as of a right now as im typing this. First one is of my treesize program again, showing that only 323GB is ont he drive of 465GB, yet I only have 8.8GB of free space somehow.. when that should be 130-140GB of free space. The second will show local disk properties saying that the used space is actually 456GB, of 465, which then shows 8.8GB of free space.
Pictures Below:
now the properties picture is calculating correctly, the math anyway. I originally had like 60 someodd GB and then one day I realized I was REALLY low, and thats when i realized my free space was just randomly disapearing, the amount of GB used according to TreeSize program is correct by my approximete calculations of what I had before I noticed this happening and then the constant deleted of old materials just to keep myself from hitting 0 bytes.
So please hopefully someone can help me and figure this out, cause im at a loss. also its not pagefile system memory thing I have that manually set to 4096 max, and tree size also sees the file and it plus hibernation is no larger then 14gb combined and its held steady at that size the entire time through this.
