C Drive SSD Fills Up To 0KB On It's Own (Windows 10)

[Entrt4inment]

Hey,
So this has been an issue for a while, before I had upgraded to Windows 7 to 10. The C Drive randomly fills up even after deleting games and other applications. There are only a very small handful of apps still on my C Drive (Skype, Photoshop, etc.) yet it still finds a way to climb back up to no free space.

This restricts me when doing things like downloading things from Chrome and opening up Photoshop because I get a "scratch disks are full" message.
I clear out the temporary files which sometimes fixes the issue, but this isn't really helpful. I've downloaded Wiztree which shows how much space each file in your drive takes up, nothing stood out there.

This has got me very confused (and annoyed) so I'd really appreciate if you guys can help me out with this! Sorry if I didn't provide any extra info you may need, let me know if you need more info and I'll drop it here in under 6 hours every time.

Thanks for your help, have a nice day!

1. What size drive is this?
2. Have you checked your Restore point settings? Often, that is a huge space hog.

The SSD is 120GB, and I have also checked restore point settings. It was on something like 2% so I just kept it there.

OK then...WinDirStat can help visualize where your space is going.

Hi there Entrt4inment,

I see that you've reduced the space allocated for System Restore. Have you deleted the previous restore points? In case you haven't, it may be a good idea to do so.
Also, you can check this extensive tutorial on how to free up some storage space: http://www.howtogeek.com/125923/7-ways-to-free-up-hard-disk-space-on-windows/

Hope this will help,
