[SOLVED] Snapshots eating memory. (According to tech support)

[lukebodner2]

According to tech support, the snapshots being made on my computer are using up way to much memory. Eventually it's gonna hit 0 bytes. What do I do?

I can't:

• Reinstall windows
• Factory reset
• Antivirus programs don't work (duh.)

I need help.

Snapshots? Do you mean restore points in windows?

Snapshots of what?

And what "tech support"?

Snapshots? Do you mean restore points in windows?

I think so? but when I try to delete restore points it says "None are available"

And my times almost up with this computer. Does literally nobody have anything?

where exactly are you seeing snapshot taking your disk space?
malware scan your system?

Backup software can take snapshots, but they wouldn't put them on the same disk as the source of the snapshot...

The only other thing i can think of with W10 is File history. My cousin uses it and it eats space like no tomorrow. I threw in one of my old 1TB drives and redirected them to go there so he has room on his SSD for games.

I'm still curious about what "tech support" this is.
