Please only post if you know the problem or have an idea of what may be causing this

Well, this has been happening for a while now, not a big issue but its an issue

this morning i had 3.5 gb left out of 106 gb on my hdd, and just a bit ago it says 11 gb.. i didn't delete anything either...

I like having more space, i just want to know where its coming from *scratches head*

If you are running windows (which I sure you are), You have a TEMP folder on your computer. Running programs, and auto-extracting installers and other kinds of programs will place files in there while they are running. Its basically a cache. Usually when a program is shut down, the files it used are deleted. Sometimes however, they aren't. Sounds like something used a LOT of space, and it somehow 'left the building'. You can manually empty it using "Disk Cleanup" or whatever its called.

EDIT: Do you have "Hibernation" avaible on your computer?

While being quite funny, your sig was the biggest one i've ever seen so far. No more than 700x250 please. ~utrack

Another thing to watch for is how much you've allocated to virtual memory. That can eat your HD alive.

That happened to me too.. Well I deleted some movies from my hard drive... and then checked its size and it was around 20 gb free space...

I turned off computer and went to bed...

Next day I was working on some text files (couple kb) and after editing couple files I deleted rest ... Then i emptied my Recycle bin and had 45 gb of free space...

Maybe you did similar thing.... Files that aren't directly deleted stay in cache on hard drive... (at least i think so)

Or maybe Old Steel is right ... it can happen ...
