Weird PC Problem :S

[Jeaneh]

Okay. I'm just getting back into the swing of things with SG, starting to jump on CS:S a little more, (Haven't played in months, starting to get a little bit more free time as it gets to summer.) and this happens. I check my C: drive for whatever reason, it it says it has 11.5 GB left. This is odd, because last time I checked, it was around 60-70 range. Having a little bit of suspicion, I proceed to delete some games I never play anymore etc. and I am satisfied with the resulting 43 GB. The next day, I go on and check it, and its down to 37 GB... This is very random and I don't know what to do D: If this ever happened to anyone else, please tell me.

Happens to me all the time because I watch so many videos on the webs. Builds up in my temp folder in local settings or something. I just delete it all every now and again. But mine doesn't go down by so much. Couple hundred mbs or so.

 

But I doubt that is your problem try doing a virus scan see if you got any nasty shit hanging around.

I've already done multiple virus scans. I'm hoping it's just a problem with the calculation system or something :/

What AV do you have?

[Jeaneh]

Kaspersky Pure.

Sometimes when you install/uninstall/edit/modify programs Windows saves a 'Shadow Copy' of your hard drive or a System Restore Point. These things tend to accumulate overtime if you don't delete them and can take a noticeable amount of space. If you don't care for these try going to my computer>right click your hard drive>properties>disk cleanup>more options>system restore and shadow copies>click cleanup. See if you get any noticeable hard drive space increase after doing this.

or see if you can get a version of TuneUp Utilities 2011, that does the job really well and keeps oyur HDD clean of all unwanted crap
