Firstly im only semi-good with Pc's 

so please bear with me -

 

I have a

MSI-16J9 - GV62 7RD

i5-7300HQ - 2.50GHz

GTX 1050  (4GB i think)

RAM - 8,00 GB

Windows 10 - 64 Bit 

I could be missing some stuff let me know...

 

So my problem! and again im am not a pc pro.

I have two problems 

  1. I can't delete 
  2. My HDD if filling up its self automatically

1) The files delete successfully, but there is no change to my  (C:) DRIVE / Local Disk (C:)

I delete Dirt4 (22 GB ) AND MY (C:) still says I only have 6 GB FREE (WTF how is that even possible - and yes I emptied my recycle bin / ran disk clean up 

also, I've tried and failed to delete the games on my brother's profile (198 GB ) and that makes no change to the (C:) as well 

PLEASE, I NEED HELP FIGURING THIS OUT 

 

2) My (C:) drive had like 8GB free after like an hour im now on 2.96GB I didn't download or set up or make anything new. 

PLEASE, I ALSO NEED help with this.

 

Also im so sick of this shit if any of you want to guide me on (Skype, Team viewer or any other video talking platform) 

Any help will be greatly appreciated thanks 

 

oh and my disk is always at 98% (but that's a later problem)

I would suggest you try the following:

  • Run the following command in elevated Command Prompt:
    chkdsk C: /f /v /x
  • Run Disk Cleanup as administrator and complete the following:
    • Select every option except "Downloads" in the "Disk Cleanup" tab. Confirm by pressing "OK" followed by "Delete Files".

    • Navigate to the More Options tab, click the "Clean up..." button under "System Restore and Shadow Copies" and confirm with "Delete" when the dialog appears.

@Homeless Pineapple

This didn't work at all... 

Thanks but it's not working. 

Any other ideas. 

 

Thanks

Have you tried running any antivirus software? I would suggest Malwarebytes and/or HitmanPro.

@Homeless Pineapple

I typically don't use anti virus... 

Because I have rollback rx... 

That instantly restores my pc back to the state is was currently in... 

Whats weird is that I've restored my pc... Back to a earlier snap shot... 

Not the easiest I can go as I don't want to go through the hassle of backing up everything... 

 

I'm running a hit an pro scan right now... 

So I'll let you know if it finds anything... 

Thanks man appreciate the help.
