Hard disk space decreasing by 1 GB on C drive

[babar82]

I have noticed that i had 235 GB of hard disk space on c drive . Now its 234 GB .Didnt install any updates or programs .All i did last was delete some restore points to free up hard disk space on c.
Any trouble shooting might help figure out why does C drive space keep decreasing like this .

If you do not have a fixed size for the swapfile defined, it will expand and shrink as needed.

Never worry about minor changes in numbers when using your computer. Some things get written to memory or the hard drive for temporary use, and are later removed. Its the things that persist after a reboot that are big that you need to worry about. The minor changes will drive you nuts if you worry about those.

Hi there babar82,

I guess you can just use some disk space analyzing program and see what is eating up the space.
You can check this extensive tutorial on how to free up some HDD space as well: http://www.howtogeek.com/125923/7-ways-to-free-up-hard-disk-space-on-windows/
