My SSD keeps getting full. What files are there anyway?



I do not install new software. I do not download new movies. It starts of at 90GB and then now it's 110GB. Slowly but surely the space is taken.


I don't know what takes it.


How do I know?


Answer



Several programs in Windows claim some temporary space, e.g. Google Chrome for some cache, cookies etc. A tool to quickly clean this kind of data is CCleaner. It is freely available. If after running CCleaner you have your diskspace back, you know it was taken up by temporary files.
