Well um idk what the problem is or if there is but whenever i open file explorer i notice my ssd's available space sometimes goes up and then goes down like for example it was 52 GB a while ago, then a few minutes later it is 51.4 then goes up to 51.7 then goes down to 51.2 then vice versa. So um can anyone explain to me why this happens?
 
Solution
temp files? Browsers cache growing? its only a few hundred mb, not a major change.

If you have Storage Sense on, the PC will actively be trying to keep temp files as small as possible. So it could account for increases.

Might be difficult to pinpoint actual cause, could be a combo of things.

Virtual memory changes often when on auto. Many other variables. Temps, prefetch, internet browser and other cache files, just some possibles.
