Space Hassles on C:
My C drive is around 10 gb in capacity. I usually have around 3 gb free, but yesterday, I saw the available space had gone down to 30 mb, and yet when I checked each folder in C, I found the total used space to be not more than 4 gb! I cleaned up system restore files, and compressed files as well, and yet the problem still persists. Still clueless as to where the remaining 5 gbs have disappeared to. Please help! I ran a virus check, and it came out clean.

Due to
system restore files (SYSTEM VOLUME INFORMATION) Hibernation files (SAME AS YOUR SYSTEM RAM) Page file you want that space back? disable system restore disable hibernation by typing power cfg -h -off in command prompt and use disk cleanup on drive c and select hibernation file cleaner |

I have hibernation turned off to begin with, and have no excess system restore files either. What else could have gone wrong?

How large is your page file getting? The default location is on your main drive and it is named pagefile.sys. For example, mine is at c:\pagefile.sys. You may have to unhide system files to see it. The size of this could be what is taking up all your space. Mine is at 1.5 gb right now.

My pagefile is around 756 mb. But even without it, I should have loads of space left over.

Hmm, did you do a disk check? It is possible you bad sectors are showing up.

Also, you could try downloading CCleaner and using their clean up tool to get rid of temp files, cache, etc.
