Run it. Select c drive to analyze. It will take sometime to show the size occupied by each folder in c drive including hidden drives.

Different colors of various sizes will be shown representing the folders. The size indicates the percent of size occupied by that folder in c drive.

Click on the biggest sized colors. Note down the folders name and list it here. I will look into it and tell what exactly making this trouble.

My goodness what do you mean by nothing happened?
are you sure you are using windows OS?


Ok, when you ran this command %temp% or prefetch did it PULL OUT ANY data's like the one's in the indicated snapshot?

These are the log files consuming available space. you need to press ctrl+A (sellect all) ctrl + c (cut) on keyborad to eliminate these log file

☞this cmd work same of ALL operation system it's ONLY the interface that differ

Please,check the attached snapshot, i believe this will help you get rid of unwanted packed temp files which are occupying ALL the space in your hardrive.




NOTE : i'm not suggesting here, i'm telling you same method i've used to revive OLD computer's of my customer's. 

Alternatively, if, you prefer doing this through the use of software, you can try advance system care tool

GoodLuck

ok i would like to ask if what anti virus you use.. ? also try to check your harddisk from c drive right click on it and click properties did you see disk cleanup click it and follow the next procedure. until you cleanup.. if you are still having issue.. please give more datails before you experience this problem.. anti virus you use and what software did you install..

Did you do everything (I really mean everything) that was suggested on this thread? If you did all of it (ccleaner, disk cleanup, system files cleanup, spybot, avast, iobit, defrag, prefetch, check cpu usage) then maybe we should restart from the begining (or give up), otherwise please re-read my posts (and others') and do everything suggested. It would also be helpful to give details (including screeshots) of the size of your hard drive before it filled up and the size after that.
So if you can :
- Tell me the size of your disk (full and empty).
- The cpu usage (post a screenshot of the task manager) when PC is idle (doing nothing).
I will provide you with further instructions once I have these elements.

The only thing I can say is buy new hard drive that can store your all files or just defrag your hard disk, if you don't know about defrag, Fragmentation makes your hard disk do extra work that can slow down your computer. Removable storage devices such as USB flash drives can also become fragmented. Disk Defragmenter rearranges fragmented data so your disks and drives can work more efficiently. Disk Defragmenter runs on a schedule, but you can also analyze and defragment your disks and drives manually. - microsoft

Also, Just remove your junk files on temp files, just type "run" on start menu and type and enter the "%temp%" then just remove the all files.

Cheers!

Then, what???
 
this is not the way to tell something brother. if you have any tip or suggestion then you should describe it properly. only saying that type command and press enter is nothing.

BTW I've type the command and pressed enter. but nothing happened, nor I got my lost space back. lolzz.


please read my previous post first. I already said I used ccleaner several time (still using it) but there is nothing happened and not get my lost space back.




I don't understand why you saying that. I am following all and every step suggesting by everyone here..

Problem is still exist.

"☞type this cmd into the small search box and hit enter on keyboard:

%temp%
Prefetch

I also recommend constant use of ccleaner it will help to ensure your computer is free from from those junk files that occupy 60% of available space.


Thanks

@emberbekas already gave him/she same cmd but, he/she look's like one of those who complain and do nothing  to resolve the problem at stake!


Regard's

emberbekas suggests
If your prefetch folder is indeed taking too much space (mine is taking 44 MB), you might consider disabling prefetch once and for all after removing the content of the folder. What is the size of you prefetch folder?

The browser temporary files can also be cleaned using ccleaner (you can clean all your browsers at once). In my opinion, the free version of ccleaner does a very good job (cleaning data/app files, the empty space, registries, cookies (in a smart way), etc.). What kind of annoying stuff does ccleaner install? At each update, u can easily update the free version (and not upgrade to the paid version).

Try to wipe free space, you can use cmd or use CCleaner. Atleast wipe with 3 passes. Also view hidden folders and delete teporary files. Clear cache and unnecessary shortcuts.
If you suspect A VIRUS, try restoring or format for the best.
Format to linux or other OS and then back to Windows if you know what I mean. Good Luck.

Hi.

I was reading the solutions, but i cant see tht any one suggest you delete the Temporary files from the Navigator Program like Chrome or Interenet Explorer or Mozilla.

In the three cases you can find in the advanced section the option delete Temporary Files.

I think that this could help.

remember too, check your Program Files in The Control Panel/Programs section.

CCleaner is fine, but if you install it without the advanced way, it installs some anoying stuff that dont help, and in some point the program will ask for the full service program purchase.

I hope this help, i f it helps, you ask for my BTC Wallet for the "tip"  good day.

Delete all files in this folder :
C:/windows/prefetch

Good Luck!

Let's assume you ran ccleaner (data/app cleaning and registery cleaning), have you ran disk cleanup? Right click on you hard drive, select properties, then select disk cleanup, once it has ended finding what to clean, click on clean up system files (it will re-run) then examine carefully what it suggests to clean up, generally I clean everything, but if you have a previous installation of windows or if you put you machine on long sleep often you might wanna keep some stuff ... You can also remove restore points. Anyway when you do that you might try to share a screenshot of the result of disk cleanup so that we can guide you through it.

A long/well-established virus won't be detected by an antivirus (no matter how good it is), antiviruses seem to be good at stopping new viruses but seem to be bad at detecting powerfull running ones ... So start task manager when your machine isn't doing anything (close your internet browser), wait for a little time and examine CPU Usage (at the bottom of the window, in the middle) it must be somewhere between 3 (maybe less) and 8 %, if not then you should try to see what's running and using your cpu ....

If you haven't done it, I also advise you to install spybot search&destroy (a free antispyware that works very fine) and look for rootkits. Also install IObit Uninstaller (a free uninstaller program) and examine what is installed on your computer and remove stuff that you really don't know.

You could also use some software to examine the occupied space on your disk (Unfortunately I don't know any for windows).

If only I had your machine under my hands ^^ Anyway don't hesitate to post screenshots.

Disable automatic updates, also check the memory dump file size, its usally 8gb+ so only that can take up allot space.

I tried this and it didn't work. I did not now this command or search phrase but windows 7 don't seems 'accept it.' It keeps loading for a few seconds, and then the default search result is shown.
No search result

Okay so the problem still exists.
Have you tried this?

1. Go to Windows Explorer (Start Menu -> Computer).
2. Type this in the search box -> size:gigantic
3. Wait for a few minutes for the files to load and then you'll see which files uses a lot of disk space.
4. Google for the files if they are useful or safe to delete.

☞type this cmd into the small search box and hit enter on keyboard:

%temp%
Prefetch

I also recommend constant use of ccleaner it will help to ensure your computer is free from from those junk files that occupy 60% of available space.


Thanks

At this point I think that the only real solution available to fix your problem is formatting your drive and installation of fresh OS.
You said that you don't have space for it. Well, SSD and HDD or storage devices in general are now cheaper than ever, bitcoin price is high.

I would be going crazy by now, if problem like yours were present on my PC.

One last thing: have your tried to check if there are some unusual events listed in Microsoft Management Console aka Event Viewer?

Not yet.. and not thanks I don't use skype and teamviewer. I can't share them if I use the. this is not really safe.


Yes, The issue is still exist. I've used ccleaner several times. seems that my problem is something else. and yes, I've scan my computer with ant-virus too. there isn't any virus.



I really can't backup these much stuff. I don't have any alternative storage. and yest I've tried almost all the methods and suggestion given here by so many users. but my problem didn't solved.


Update: I am still looking for a solution for my missing driver's space. I will pay 0.01btc to anyone who tell me a valid Idea.

Thank You.

The best solution for you to just re-windows your computer. format your hardesk, specially C Drive and then again install windows. I think your computer have virus and they won't clean until you format all.
