Solved Hard disk space rapidly decreasing

[Bezee]

Hello,

Fours days ago i installed a game on my pc (Harry Potter and the deathly hallows 2)
and after ending it i uninstalled it and that's when the problem started. I kept seeing this even after uninstall....

I have to to uninstall again and again but i just get this.


The main problem is that after every restart my hard drive space keeps decreasing, i was down to 36mb left 3 hours ago and had to delete 30GB of my junk and now i'm down to

Please how can i resolve this...?

Try downloading the program again and installing it. Then use the "Repair" function in "Add/Remove" programs if available. Afterwards try to remove the program again.

If the above doesn't work try downloading and installing Revo Uninstaller then use it to attempt removal. Revo is free and can be downloaded from;

Download Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Free and Full Download - Uninstall software, remove programs, solve uninstall problems

Scroll to the bottom of the page and choose the download link on the left side column for the free version. See screen shot below;

Run WinDirStat on C and analyse the results. Post results if you have questions.

Just ran WinDirStat and located the the area with the most space. The folder contains files i have deleted from long ago and copies of some i have now.


I Googled this and i think its a virus? w32.rotinum
