growing file

Question

I have a file that grows to take up most of the room on my hard drive. when ever I delete or move files to a different drive the file grows to fill the spaces. I searched for the file but it does not show.

Answer 1

Hi Robert, Windows Explorer is useless when it comes to working out where your hard drive space is being used . . .

Click the link below to download a small free utility called Treesize. Using that tool, you will instantly see where this space is being used

Once you have worked out where this space is being used, please let me know so I can advise on what is safe to remove and indeed what the underlying problem is . . .

Hi RobertSadzewicz,

I am Vijay, an Independent Advisor. I am here to work with you on this problem.

You should analyze your existing space with help of third party softwares and remove un-necessary files. TreeSize is most popular one and is a Microsoft Store app.
