C:\ drive suddenly full, without warning

Hi,

Just got a notification message saying my windows drive has run out of space. No idea why as there is 225gb and only windows and a few programs. I downloaded a drive mapper and that is no help.

anyone got any ideas or is it a fresh install time again?

Looks like a virus and you're spreading it through that screenshot.
DON'T click on it...and please remove it.

Do a disc cleanup, uninstall some stuff? Remove cache's etc?

run windirstat instead

it looks like a virus to me, saying "omg you're out of space install this virus plz"

Yeah trying the remove cache and stuff, taking its sweet time. I really cannot be bothered with a reinstall and downloading updates all over again.

The drive mapper came from a perfectly legit source. But guess it could be a time to run the virus scan again.

OMG sorry for wasting peoples time. It was due to a game called revenge of the titans eating the hdd with save data. Bloody hell that is one big bug!
