	Log in to remove this sponsored message The free space on my hardrive is slowly reducing on its own. Did a little research and seems it may be caused by a memory leak or a programme dumping logs etc. I noticed it yesterday when it said out of hardrive space and it hit 0GB free. I got it back up to 12GB and today it was down to 3GB. Just got it back up to 9GB and it went down 0.08GB in 30min. Also I swear I had about 30GB free in the first place! It seems to have just suddenly started happening and I haven't installed any new programmes recently. I have no idea where to start looking to solve the problem and I REALLY do not want to have to reformat! Please help Thanks

	Nope, not a SSD. I have AVG Internet Security? Should I run an AVG scan or download that Windows Malware one? I do have Malwarebytes but it only runs when I tell it to scan, should I use that? Will try WinDirStat if the scans do not work. Thanks

	AVG only picked up a tracking cookie... Will try a Malwarebytes scan, then Windows Malware Removal Tool, and finally WinDirStat if it still continues
