CommanderCrazy Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 So I was playing Dead Space 2 this morning, and I come to a save spot. I went to save and it said 'Unable to save'. Sure, the save corrupted I thought so I did it again and it said 'Not enough free disk space'I minimised the game and looked, and the drive was 100% full. There was 20gb left when I booted it up. So I cleared the recycle bin and and transferred a folder of old game backups and there was about 2gb freed up, and I went back into the game and saved. Then when I exited it showed 1.4gb. Every refresh of 'My Computer' showed it steadily dropping. I have tried a defrag of the drive, but it locks and stays analysing at 24%. I have also done checkdisk but that did nothing to stop it.It would be easy if it said what was filling the drive, but nope. Just fills up until its full, and then it complains every 2 seconds 'C:\ drive is full. Click to see if you can free space on this drive' just so it can load up again. If it helps, its a WD SATA drive, 500gb partitioned to 400/100, and I am on Windows 7 x64.This only started today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paxan_1 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hi, i don't think this is a issue by the harddrive. If it is drive c i would have a look which directory is filled up. Maybe you have a virus or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadimos Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) I hate stuff like that. Have you done a check with the temporary files from windows or generally done and enquiry into what exactly fills up here and where? Try for instance the windows and appdata folder. Wish there would be a tool for showing you, but i know of none here. Edited January 31, 2011 by Nadimos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderCrazy Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 I know these folders, but whatever is filling up the hard drive is completely invisible. I do have hidden files set to visible. Other possible information, Windows updated a couple days ago, but it wouldnt take this long to start having that sort of effect would it?

There were no reported problems with the latest round of windows updates. Try booting in safe mode and see if you can find where the problem is. Run a scan. If necessary, restore to an earlier point. If you try to do a backup, be very careful about files that you try to save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CommanderCrazy Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hmm, it seems to have steadied itself at 400mb.Will keep an eye on it and run a few scans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
