C Drive Getting Full for no reason

Press Windows key+R together, type %temp%, select all and delete them.

Then go to C drive, right click->properties->general->disk cleanup->clean up system files->select temporary files and delete them.

Lastly, open settings->system->storage->configure storage sense->clean now.

That should do the trick.

Hi Prasanth,

This is Wil, one of the independent advisor, an expert with Windows 10 and a fellow Windows 10 user like you.

This is what I usually recommend to people with concern about disk space. First, try to check which folder is consuming your hard disk space. You may use an application called Treesize. Treesize would give you an accurate size for each folder. You may download a 30-day trial of Treesize on this link https://customers.jam-software.de/downloadTrial...

After that, I would suggest performing a disk cleanup to delete temporary and unnecessary files on your computer https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/402661.... Personally, this what I am doing to track my hard disk space and free up space on it.

I hope the information I provided will help you. But If you need further assistance, please do reply back and I will research more on this issue, and please wait for my response with additional options for troubleshooting. Have a nice day.

Thanks,

Wilfred P.

Hi Wilfred,

Thank you for your reply.

So, I downloaded Treesize and ran it. The biggest folder by far seems to be Temp folder located in Windows folder. It is 137 GB. 

What do you suggest I do next?

OK.

I tried this. 

I went to Settings -> Privacy ->Background Apps and disabled Windows store and some other unnecessary apps. 

Then I went to Windows->Temp and removed all files that I could. 

Now I have 160 GB free out of 228 GB as opposed to earlier 45 MB.

Hopefully this should do it. 

Edit: Rebooted the computer and those Event Logs are being generated again. I guess the low tech solution if to periodically manually delete these logs. 

But if there is any way to fix them automatically, please tell me.

So. The issue is finally resolved. 

I had MS Office downloaded and installed again. There was some error with the accounts that I was using. 

Now the issue has been resolved. The performance of the Laptop is much faster and those error logs are not being generated anymore in the Temp folder. So, it appears to have been a problem with MS Office. 

Thanks a bunch Hanyo and Wilfred!
