SSD losing space

[kmufc77]

if you ignore the diagram on windirstat and just use the top panel, it gives a ranked breakdown of which folder is using what space with the one using the most at the top. You could take a screenshot of this before and after and it should show one of the folders is bigger in size and percentage drive space used.

Hi

Thanks for the advice, i have taken a screenshot,handy prog

One thing these programs dont show as far as in aware is they dont display hidden files, ie temporary files.

they show everything they have access to, temporary files arn't usually protected, but you could try running the program as admin and let it scan that way.

Also to explain the diagram, it just shows each file with the square being bigger if the file is bigger, if you click each square then the list at the top will jump to whatever file it is. So you could click through some of the bigger ones and see if you recognise what they are, just be careful about deleting random "big" files
