Hi, everyday I lose space on my drive. I formatted my PC and I had a reasonable amount of space left. But now I can't install anything due to small space. I've tried everything to clean space but nothing works. Any
suggestions would be grateful!

Thanks for the help!

It could be the Avast NG option causing the issue, if you're using it.
Keep on eye on the Max Storage setting, or consider removing NG ?

Basically it's a Sandbox or Avast Virtual Machine.

If you look in Avast Tools you should be able to see if you have it installed.

Oh yeah I do have a sandbox. I will probably uninstall as I never use it.
