Losing space daily.

So I've had an OCZ agility 3 120gb for about 6 months now and it has worked fine until recently. I noticed that I am losing quite a bit of space every day. On Thursday I had 60.5GB free and now I have 57GB. The only things I have installed are Windows, Visual studio, and steam. I haven't installed anything to result in lost storage. Is my drive dying? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • I have already re-installed windows and there is no malware.
  • Temp files are clear.

do you have some kind of program backing up or maybe indexing on or something?

have you tried google to find anything?

weird issue though cant think of many situations when you would lose space, i mean even in a situation when you had bad sectors you would notice performance decreases, well in hdd situations you lose performance, i have yet to make the move to ssd, but still my older flash drives dont lose space but their limited writes has slowed performance.

curious to see the answer
