BassAddict32 Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 so this has happened twice now and i can't figure out what is causing it. my computer has 32GB of space and it normally has around 5GB left after my programs. (every now and then something new will come along and i'll keep that) but about 2 or 3 months ago, my computer said i had low disk space. i deleted 3 programs, my ENTIRE music file(which was 1GB), and a bunch of vids and other files(about 3GB). so i should've had more space, right? well it kept saying i had low disk space and then just ran out all together. i restarted my computer and BAM! 6GB of space. well yesterday it did the same thing again. low disk space, did disk clean up, erased 2 small files, then NOTHING! no disk space left. then, on top of all that, when i went to erased a program, it freaked out on me and said i needed -13,062KB or something. so i left it for a minute while i went for a shower. came back up and my virus protection was up! it said there was a high risk level and that i needed to kill it. HOWEVER! there was no file name at all. no location. no nothing. so i clicked kill and then restarted my computer. came back up and THERE! 7GB of space. so what would be causing my computer to.......eat itself? everything else runs fine and whatnot. haven't had any other problems but this. i mean, it's nothing i'm worried about, just curious.

TechSys Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 I don't even know what I'd do with less than 250gig. Currently have 1.5TB and soon to put in another 500gig. I'd agree with the worms and temp internet files. Do a complete virus scan. Clean the temp files. Have you defragged? check hard drive for errors.
