Get space sniffer, should help you figure out what's eating up the space.

Sounds like either someone else is playing with your computer (which i would recommend a wipe of the computer and reinstall with better passwords, including reseting the PW and admin on the router) or something on your computer is updating, than after its done removes the stuff it didnt need.

Well its not spontaneous. It happens once every hour or so.

Track your files and see whats the latest update or change. What programs do you have, there are a few factors. At worst you may just have to clean install as it could be something malicous.

Would I track them manually? Its been sitting at 152 for a while now.

Yeah so check to see if files are changing, also check your temp folder to see if theres another suspicious there

Well its back to 159. But Steam completely locked up and half my programs wouldn't close due to lack of memory and I had to end the tasks. Will a Windows reset(not re install) boot this guy who is fucking with me? Or fix the issue whatever it may be.
