I have a partition for drive C in Windows 7. It shows that I have 2 GB free out of 48 GB. So.. my total size of drive C should be 48 GB (correct). I see that my drive C is getting more full day by day.. without me adding anything. I delete temp files constantly but nothing.. first I thought it was windows updates but.. it's not. When I press ctr+a on drive C ( also I have put the windows to show hiden files) it shows the total size of data to be 25,8 GB.. so.. here comes to questio... WHERE THE FCK IS MY ~21 GB??

Thank you!

Do you use Photoshop (or other software who creates big temp files)? Because while ago i've encounted same problem... Now i change my local storage for thunderbird or Photoshop or any other software who need large space.

You should use a file tree software that shows you which folders are taking up what space, it could be malware or some erroneous caching done by a browser or something, I'm not sure without any more info.

close the function of system restore points can save some space.
