    System Shrinks ?


    Hello Forum,
    My win 10 system, including office and several installed programs, and one restore point, occupies approx. 30.6 GB on "C" drive at starting the pc.Along the day it 'grows' up to approx. 32 GB, no installations or updates.Yesterday I ran a small (portable) program, it was a "thumb cache viewer", and since it did not suit me, I deleted it.Occasionally I checked "C" properties and it became 29.3 GB ?!The only change I noticed was a newer restore point, strangely the previous one gone. (It was created automatically)Checked my system by rebooting - everything fine, ran full scan with defender - no findings.Any explanation please, or am I just worried about nothing.Answers will be appreciated.ThanksMotim

    Whenever you go to a Web site, it adds Cookies (temp files) to your computer. If you visit several sites, the cookies and other .PUP files build up. This is nothing to worry about. If you do a Disk Cleanup, or use CCleaner, or System Ninja every so often, you will clear the temp files from your system.
