SSD Filling Up for Seemingly No Reason

[darien123]

Hello,

So today I received a notification stating that my main drive (120 GB SSD) had no space left, so I went into my files in order to clear up some space. While doing this, I noticed that there wasn't really anything in my files taking up so much space that the whole drive would be filled, so I added the file size of everything together on my SSD and found out that I only have around 65 GB of files on it, when my SSD storage size is 120 GB. All hidden folders are showing, system recovery is off with 0% space used, and I used CC cleaner but to no avail. I am some how missing half of the space on my drive. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

WinDirStat will map your drive and you will see what folders use what space. It can help you see what’s going on

Yes, you're missing a lot of stuff.

Install and run WinDirStat
Run As Adminstrator, selecting only this drive.

Post the screencap here.

But..a 120GB drive WILL fill up faster than you think.
