    Hard Drive filling up overnight


    For some reason my hard drive is filling overnight and I can't figure out why. There is no heavy process that I can see with task manager. I can even look for large files (using tree view) and I don't see any one large file that has filled the drive. Even if I clear like 30G of space it will fill up.

    How can I find out what is filling the drive?

    Download an app like Tree Size Free to visualize what files are taking up the space.

    Do you use System Restore or Avast anti-virus?

    What, if any, backup methods do you use?

Hi. I have 2 1.5 TB internal hard drives for a Windows 7, 64 bit Pro system. My second hard drive keeps getting filled up by huge (200-400 GB) files that are apparently generated by System Restore and System Image. I'd like to keep the System Restore functionality, but is there a way to...
I really need help here. It is getting downright scary. I built this whole computer, and everything was fine. I had Win vista Ultimate 64 with the 32 bit emulator. Then I installed the upgrade to Win-7 over Vista, with no issues, and I was delighted with it, as I was with Vista. All this time,...
