C: Drive filled up...

[Reeno]

Well I never install anything to my C: Drive and now its 40/40GB and my D: Drive is 400GB Free of 1TB and I can't find anything taking up space in my C: Drive besides my OS...I really don't want to reformat, is there any way I could fix this problem without reformatting?

Run some antivirus/antispyware software and cleanup temporary files.

Download and run WinDirStat to see what's taking up the most space.

Space Sniffer is also a similar application but I believe it's a portable app requiring no installation.

I'll +1 WinDirStat.

Definitely wirdirstat, and also if you're really at a loss as to the cause and this seems sudden, there's a chance if you've installed anything recently that it could be writing out a log file that's ballooning the fuck up, I remember that happened to me the first time I used peerblock and enabled logging lol.

+1ing Windirstat as well

junction your page file to the empty drive. If you have an ipad/iphone/itouch, junction your backups to the empty drive. Turn off hibernation features. Those 3 steps alone gave me about 12 gig of space on my SSD.

And Windirstat is the fucking bomb

Seems like I have 10GB free but if I leave my PC on like overnight it fills up to like 300MB free and I need to restart it for it to free up

Probably your hibernation file.

Run cmd as admin. type the following:

powercfg.exe -h off

hit enter, done. No more hibernation.

All good suggestions.

Also, your PC will boot 50% faster if you junction 100 Hastes to SPD.

In general, you should never have a page file on an SSD (fast paging, but causes a lot of PE cycle consumption), and there's no real need for hibernation on a desktop, especially any desktop with an SSD.

But he can't draw haste to begin with if he is completely full ;3
