the space on my C drive keeps decreasing,

i was doing my regular work and i recieved a message saying the space in my c drive is low.. i usually used to have around 13GB of free space..but it turned to just 1GB in a while.. it comes back to 13GB or 12 GB after i restart my computer but again goes back to very low..it even reaches to some kb...

Hello Badjam, and welcome to Seven Forums.

You might also check to see how much HDD space is allocated for system protection using the tutorial below, and adjust as needed.

Good news... Its not a windows logging feature...
Bad news... That removes my idea...

Do you have any kind of logging enabled in Mcafee?

if hard drive space is vanishing that fast, do an advanced file search based on file size. Starting from 200MB then upwards. It may point you to where these large files are being stored and from that, help you figure out what is generating said files.
