    My PC is randomly using up space


    One day I'll have 30gb free. The next day, the remaining storage drops to 20gb. This has been continuing for weeks now. I've had to delete things just for more storage to be taken up without me doing anything to warrant that.In addition, I've used TreeSize to discover that my Windows folder is eating up 91.2GB ALL ON ITS OWN. There is also a folder within Windows called CSC that's taking up 62.4GB and I can't delete it. I've tried taking ownership but it does not work. I need help as I'm constantly losing space daily

    :)

    PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??

    I have an HP Stream Laptop and I keep running out of storage space

    Hi Jay,

    If a category can't show the folders that it contains, there is a possibility that the folders are somehow hidden. To maximize your PC's storage, follow the suggested steps in these links:


    If further help is needed, let us know.
