    Hard drive used space more than doubled...


    Can't figure this out. Have a Tablet 2 in 1 with W10 and 32GB SSD.

    Have not installed any programs. A few days ago the size of the used space on he drive was 7.8 now, it is 16.6GB.

    Any clues?

    An update of some kind?
    Try Windirstat (free) to see how your disk space is used.

    What are the system restore settings, how large do you allow a restore point to be?
