G'day guys.

I'm having a problem with my Intel 730 Series SSD
Over the last few months my ssd has been filling its storage to a crazy capacity, its only a 250 gb SSD and its filling up faster than i can think
This isnt even a problem between starts it happens while the computer is powered on in as long as i've been typing this post, its filled ~150mb
I can only account for 206.8gb of storage in files the files (i see this by right clicking the file and finding how much stuff is in it) and the SSD reports 218gb of storage used.in a drive that only has an effective capacity of 222gb thats concerning me.

I've emptied /Temp and the recycle bin, and i've also run the Intel SSD manager at least once every month. i dont understand what is going on.
I had a big clean out the other month and i had 22gb of free space, and i've installed nothing since. 

I have NO idea whats happening. Please can someone help me?

Thanks, 

Andrew.

I've done that, it all appears to be normal, nothing is out of the ordinary, it looks to be fine...

Puzzling...
