Hi guys i need you help!The free space of my hard drive is shrinking like crazy from 420 gb it went to 120 in almost one week!I didnt install anything but i have been having bsods 0x93 which are now gone.Also i have windows uptade problems.As you can see in the attached screenshot the windirstat says that i use 550 gb but windows says i use 806 gb!
Hmm, maybe WinDirStat is not showing System Volume Information folder.
One possibility - What's your anti-virus? Avast?
Unhide Protected System files from folder options and see if WinDirStat will show a better result.
Do you really have a 320GB Program Files?
In the WinDirStat menu click Options, and make sure Show Unknown is checked.
If you have space used for <Unknown>, try Wiztree and see if it can list these files.
They have a portable version, no install needed.
Antibody Software - WizTree finds the files and folders using the most disk space on your hard drive
I found this files what are these can i delete them safely?
No, don't mess with them.
You didn't answer question about antivirus? Avast or no?
Also check this:
Start Menu - Computer (right click) - Properties
System Protection - Configure
What is the Max Usage %?
Do you use Avast ?
Avast can cause problems and set System Restore to 50% disk usage.
Check how much space you use for System Restore.
System Protection - Change Disk Space Usage
edit: GokAy beat me to it
I have uninstalled avast the previous week because a member of the forum stated that it may occur bsod's so now i use mse. yes it is 50 %
Ok, default is 10%. Adjust it to whatever you want.
Restart PC.
Check System Restore again and create a manual system restore.
run cmd: vssadmin list shadowstorage
It wont let me set it at 10 only at 15 is it normal?
Maybe you need to delete restore points first and then try and set it to 10%.
Give that a try.
System Protection Restore Points - Delete
