This just adds to the list of why I barely use windows anymore(except for dbpro,lol). Well anyways I was doing a project for school and windows gives me the stupid low disc space on local disc drive C: so im like well whatever so I cleaned out about a gig or 2 of data onto my laptop. So Im like ok so Im at least over a gig right so then I work for a little while and sure enough it says 2mb left on drive C: .
Now I cleared some more and now its back to 1.60gb after deleting more stuff and so far its holding steady at that. its just wierd though. I keep thinking I could have a virus or something though. Anyone experience this?

Or it could be you didn't clean out your recycle bin, or your pagefile is growing, or your temp folder is storing duplicate data, etc.

Any number of reasons this could happen when you run low on disk space on Windows.

I suggest running a chkdsk through the command prompt...the full synax is chkdsk/f

omit /f if you run chkdsk
not the first thing I'd do anyway, Raven's suggestions should be pursued first, then you should suspect a malware of some sort
