    C Drive Space keeps decreasing

    but still the space is decreasing just a few weeks back the disk had 77 GB of free space and now its down to 70 -my surfing is a lot and i use any video converter and youtube downloader as well due to my multimedia studies

    i cannot understand why is the space decreasing so despite maintenance can anyone help me please

    Download and use windrstat. I guess that it is restore points and shadow points.

    One thing, when you see a piece with a lot of gb used, just put the cursor (or click) to see what is inside.

    The space is probably being used by shadows (restore points) - do the following:

    Press Start > right click on Computer > Properties > go to System Protection (on top in the left pane) > highlight C > click on Configure.

    What do you see under "Disk Space Usage" > "Current Usage". If that corresponds to the space you are missing, then the space is being used by restore points.
