The problem my drive has been experiencing for the last year or two is that it'll randomly go up to 27GB of free space and then over the next few weeks, the space will slowly drop down to 1-2GB. No idea why. I've asked numerous times on this forum about the issue, but nobody had an answer as to why it's happening or how to stop it. I figure since it's staying so low now and looking at SpaceMonger, I actually have about 18GB of free space left, but looking at My Computer, it's currently showing about 1.84GB of free space.
I'll check into this, but I've looked with SpaceMonger and I can't honestly tell what's different. If Wiztree gives time frames as to when space changes that would definitely help, but I've taken screenshots of SM when it was at 20+ of free space and again when it was down to 1 and I couldn't find any discrepancies anywhere.
I can't even count how many times I've scanned with damn near every utility known to man. Everything comes up clean. Kaspersky, MalwareBytes, Spybot, AdAware, Avast, etc. They all say everything is good other than the usual tracking cookie here and there.
I guess SpaceMonger is similar. If something is using 20GB, I think there should be some distinguishable signs in the visual. It would be a huge file or a lot of small files in a group. I can't imagine some program scattering a bunch of little files all over different folders ...
That's what I assumed as well since SpaceMonger gives a really good visual representation of what everything is inside the drive and I assumed 20GB would be pretty easy to spot, but the images were almost identical so I figured it was something I couldn't see and maybe it was a glitch (especially since the space fluctuates so rapidly without me doing anything other than playing games and checking my e-mails). At this point I'm probably just going to grab a much bigger drive and maybe do a format. It seems like it's going to be a little bit before CPU and GPU prices will come down so I might as well try to make sure I can still use this one.
