[SOLVED] Running Programs Use Storage When Open

[Emshe]

When I have a program or game open on my SSD (which is the only drive I have) it takes up a few gigabytes of storage. When I close the program, I get those gigabytes back. Is this normal? If not, how can I fix it?

There is nothing to "fix". If you only have one drive there is nowhere else to use for temp files.

I just didn't know temp files could be that big! Thanks c:

Issue is gone after most recent restart.

That could mean that you have a page file being generated. How much RAM do you have ?
