Windows 8/8.1 - free disk space on drive/partition slowly disappearing without any new files copied or software installed
Recently I noticed that one of my partitions started losing space and there were no new programes installed or files copied to it.
How come? What is going on?
After a lot of digging into the matter -- and occupied space still growing -- I discovered the culprit was the System Information Folder, where Windows stores all sorts of data, such as restore images etc.
And then I started googling for solutions.
What next?
The System Information Folder is hidden, so, to see it, you must have the Hidden protected operating system files shown. [node:read-more:link]
