Inspect the size of every folder there on C drive by right clicking and viewing properties. Start a log of the folders by name, size and date. Check after a few days and see what is growing at the rate you describe. You need to do the leg work and narrow that down before I can even attempt to do much good.
Okay, thank you. I actually wouldn't have thought to do that. I appreciate the help.
You are welcome and I guess we'll see you soon.
Use Wiztree and see where it shows your space is being used.
There is a portable zip download available, no install needed, unzip and run it.
Antibody Software - WizTree finds the files and folders using the most disk space on your hard drive
You can see what's in each folder by clicking on the + sign next to the folder.
You can save a screen print of Wiztree and later compare it to see what folders have a large change in space used.
Thank you for linking me to Wiztree David
I had already found that the space used in C:\User\Cesar\, was increasing steadily over time, though I haven't checked the folders and docs there as of yet.
Wiztree did find several docs called C:\Windows\logs\CBS\CbsPersist_(a string of numbers each beginning with "2015") They each take roughly 3GB with one close to 4GBs
It also found 2 docs, I think. The icon is a page with what I think are gears on it, one called "C:\pagefile.sys" taking up 8GBs, and the other, "C:\hiberfil.sys" taking up 6GBs
If you don't use hibernate you can disable it and that will delete the hiberfil.sys file.

With 8 GB RAM you probably don't need a large pagefile so you could manually set the size.
Try 1000 MB minimum and 8000 MB maximum.
If you do have any issues you can always change it, or set it back to automatic.

My CBS Logs folder is only 160 MB.
I don't know why yours is so large, maybe someone else that knows will post with advice.
Its actually just every skype profile picture I used in skype, I created the folder myself. It's about 35MB
It seems your system has been attacked by some malware. You can turn to dll suite for your lost dll, but maybe you still need some anti-malware tool.
