Storage virus maybe?

Hi guys, i've been editing on premiere pro on my laptop and i have like 40GB of storage left in my SSD but over time it goes down when i did not download anything but it goes back to normal storage when i restart the laptop and the process repeats, my storage will get lesser and lesser and eventually till my ssd is depleted and i have to restart the laptop again.

What should I do?

Can you see what files are being created?

Nope, I'm not sure where I can find those files that are being created or what's taking up the space

Although I doubt it, it may be the pagefile or temp browser cache files. But 40gb is a lot of space. When its filling up check the size of the pagefile.sys. You have to shoe hidden files in folder options and then search for it.
