Check the log for files that were created especially anything unusual.
If that's too much for you try something a little easier:

Portable so no install.
Set up like this:
Click settings cog and uncheck everything unrelated to file and folder creation.
Then hit the record button and see what gives.
I was thinking the same. Virtual memory managed by System can vary some G.
I've moved Virtual memory from the SSD to the HDD and set it to a fixed 16G (Max and min) as I have 8G of memory. Never had issues.
@Maggidon -
Please take a look at this:

Thanks.
In addition run this when the space is there and run it again when it isn't. Take screenshots and compare the results.

Thanks for the replies! Callender, I seriously appreciate your going out and beyond for the efforts. I always get a kick out of these Softpedia sites! You log on to download something and they're deceptive. There's always things there that says 'download' and it's not what one really wants. I also have Wiztree on this system so I could take a look at that.
Megahertz, what do you mean by "I was thinking the same. Virtual memory managed by System can vary some G" ... what is the "some G"?

I mention that I have Wiztree but what do I do with it. Do I run scan and if so, out of all that it shows, what am I to look for exactly?
Just take a screenshot of the results and save it. (When space is okay)
When you get 30+ Gb added run wiztree again and take another screenshot.
In the image above look for huge differences in the figures highlighted in red. (Compare your two screnshots)
When reading the thread from the beginning I immediately thought the space difference could be related to Virtual memory.
On post #12 Callender mentioned the Virtual memory.
As Virtual memory is some G bytes, it can also vary in G bytes from one boot to another (if set as "automatically manage paging file size")
Megahertz, that's an interesting observation although you would know more about that than I. Callender, your last instruction regarding Wiztree is simple enough for even a novice as I to understand. I'll post back as to what I find.
Thank you so much everyone for coming in on this. The efforts and help is so much appreciated!
