OS install size growing alarmingly
W7 was in and running for about 9 months ... as part of a bug fix investigation had to do a clean install
It is W7 64 bit Ultimate +Sp1 on a 120GB SSD (PC has 16GB Physical RAM and i5 processor)
Previously the install with only a very limited number of Apps on C:\ was around 65GB
User profiles majority of Apps are all stored items are on separate D:\ and E:\ drives
However The C:\ used space is growing at alarming rate .... over 4 GB today.
I have run CCCleaner to check for temp files etc, and Malwarebytes for Adaware all fine
To help I have now disabled Hiberantion - powercfg -h off
and deleted Sp1 backip files - dism /online /cleanup-image /spsuperseded
This has gained me a little room now back down to 118GB
Is there something growing for no reason ? .......... I remember I had a similar problem a few years ago with XP ... a file was growing, and not being deleted on power off .. had to manually delete and got 50% of my HDD back.
Any suggestions ?
