    Nothing to do with free up drive space but WinDirStat will show you exactly what is using drive space on C
    Free Up Drive Space in Windows 10

    as regards
    YouTube Apex and OBS
    I am not the person to advise you
    My knoweldge of such and how they may interasct with each other to produce problems is very limited.

    I have some years of experience but NOT in that area.

    I do not mean to suggest I am leaving the topic I NEVER fo that until it is finished but you need the advice of someone else IF the problem to be addressed is the use of YT OBS AND APEX

    I do appreciate all your help.
    As I said earlier though, I've turned off hardware acceleration, and for now anyway, everything seems good, so for now, I just need to believe!

    Cheers
    Hope it stays OK
    If not as I said I recommend WinDirStat

    Just becuase you had the warning I posted - re the space and the dump
    and then the warning re the page file
    does not mean you wil haved them again.

    and certainly not of course the warning regarding the free space available on C, which needed attention, as you have by extending C

    The only aspect you need to pay attention to at this stage is the - free space element on C to ensure something is not continuing to write to C

    My best wishes pleased to have helped

    WizTree is orders of magnitude faster than WinDirStat.

    I actually downloaded TreeSize this morning to see if anything stood out.

    A few things did but I don't think I should be touching them?
    Windows > WinSxS - 8.4gb (A lot of AMD64 files)
    Windows > System32 > DriverStore - 2.1gb (Probably driver files, just seems big)
    Windows > Servicing > LCU - 3.3gb (3 files. Package for rollup fix)

    Files > Hiberfil.sys - 12.8gb
    Files >pagefile.sys - 4.8gb

    Most are probably normal, but 13gb for hibernation seems huge!

    Best to not touch anything if you don't recognize/understand it ....... smart of you to post/ask first.

    I don't use hibernation, but I think everything looks fine. Wait and see what others say. Find things you do recognize that you may have forget about like old large downloads, etc that you no longer need.

    Try WizTree ...... you just might like it better They have a portable version too

    Always make a backup before cleaning up stuff ................. Backup and Restore with Macrium Reflect

    - Pro tip: Always have a recent backup anyway ......... shxt happens like bad updates or hardware going to digital heaven

    There is nothing wrong there
    Specify Hiberfile Type as Full or Reduced in Windows 10
    Hiberfil 12.8GB
    is quite usual for your setup.
    Hiberfile type:

    Full = Supports being able to enable hibernate and turn on fast startup (hiberboot). The hiberfile (C:\hiberfil.sys) will be 40% of physical RAM installed on your computer. Hibernate is available to be added to the power menu.

    Reduced = Only supports being able to turn on fast startup (hiberboot) without hibernate. The hiberfile (C:\hiberfil.sys) will be 20% of physical RAM installed on your computer. Removes hibernate from the power menu.

    If you were short of space whiuch you are not, OR did not want to hibernate you could turn of hiberfil



    Enable or Disable Hibernate in Windows 10
    Option 1 at 4
    The hiberfile (C:\hiberfil.sys) will be 20% of physical RAM installed on your computer. Removes hibernate from the power menu.

    If you find hibernate useful, the cost it the additional storage usage you see it needs to save all the open apps' states. Only you can decide what's best for you.
