I've got a small SSD on my C: drive, 120GB.
I've got some large .rar files on my E: drive that I want to extract to another folder on my E: drive.
Should be simple enough, I thought. Open Winrar, create a folder and drag it over.
But now I've found that my C: drive has pretty much run out of space. The other day I had around 22GB of space left, before I started to extract these files I had 10.2GB left. I started to extract these files, and got an error saying I whad run out of disk space...and now I have 118MB left lol
I'm guessing that Windows 10 is using the C: drive as a temporary swap space of some sort - copying the stuff to be extracted to my C: drive temporarily and then moving it from the C: to my desired location on my E: drive, right..?
Tried running CleanDsk but it didn't give me my 10.2GB back. Had a look at my C: drive and can't see these files that are taking up so much space. There were some files in a Temp folder so deleted those but still not seeing my 10-20GB that appears to have gone missing somewhere.
Has anyone got any ideas..?
Many thanks in advance for any help!
