So, I have NO IDEA wtf windows just did.... like I literally have 0 clue what in the H&LL it just decided to do here.

 

I recently redid my PC, full on water cooling, so I no longer had space for my HHD's, so I popped em in my HTPC. Cool, that all worked fine because that is all normal.

 

I decided to try and link my rigs documents and pix with the folders on my HTPC (where they truly reside), so I went to computer, right clicked on pictures, docs and music and set up where I want them to point too. Also, fine. 

 

Then, I realize my network is being hit pretty hard, so I open task manager and see my SSD RAID array in my rig is pegged at 100% and my network is up over 300 mbps. Ok, I guess its indexing. Which it was. Fair enough.

 

Then I go and look at "computer" and visually see my SSD's space ticking down... UHHHH wut. Within about 10 minutes, I went from 156 gigs used to 270. I DIDN'T COPY ANYTHING, WINDOWS DID THIS ITSELF. So trying to figure out where this "data" is going, I opened space sniffer, and what do you know, its reporting 156 gigs used (my amount before this crap). I open up my C drive, turn on view all hidden folders, right click properties, 158 gigs (2 gigs more than space sniffer...) BUT NOT FRIKING 270 like  "computer" is reporting.

 

What the F@*% just happened. Has anyone had this issue before, because at this point I have 0 idea what it just did. I go to disc cleanup and it find about 1 gig of stuff to delete. I went to the directory of windows index, its not out of the norm, certainly not 100+ gigs. 

 

What just happened, and how do I fix this.

Ok, crisis averted. 

 

So, apparently it was saving all of my stuff for offline use.... Cool windows. Thanks for telling me you were going to do that.
