25GB of Data has just appeared!

HI Guys

First a little back ground info

A 150 GB partitioned HDD held my C: Drive at about 75 GB the drive kept getting full and I also had persistant Low memory warning.

I would delete unused program files and burn to disk photos etc to make more room but literally a couple days later the HDD would be almost full.

I cloned the then full HDD to a 250GB Drive and repartitioned which gave my C drive approx 160GB

All good

Still getting my low memory despite CPU running at approx 75%

Then noticed that from somewhere the amount of Data on the C drive has jumped by approx 25 GB in about a week despite only using for emails and a small amount of paper work

My HDD always sounds as though it is doing plenty of work a bit like a defrag.

I think something has gone wrong and is working away in the back ground creating data.

Can anybody help with how or where I can work out what it is.

Cheers

 

Update

Looks like another approx 3 GB has appeared in less than 24 Hrs

 

Install and run Treesize Free. It will tell you exactly what is using hard drive space.

 

Hi Ztrucker

Download and detected the issue

toolbar_log.txt

An AVG glitch

Still have problem of how to remove the file which is taking up space

The file is sitting on my users\Guest\appdata\local\temp ......

Have uninstalled AVG2013 and may reinstall

My PC now sits reasonably quietly

I will start a new thread on how to remove

 

Great! Thanks for letting me know.

 

Now I am finding the same glitch on the kids laptops but am able to remove

Cheers

 

Dump AVG, install Microsoft Security Essentials.
