All the Hard Drive space on my C Drive being taken up by Windows 10

I figured it out.

Adobe has been keeping back up data for some reason of every video I ever created! I did not tell it to do this!
There is an 880GB folder that is nothing but data from past video project from my youtube videos, some of them three years old.
Why would adobe do this, this is beyond stupid.
Thanks a lot for all of your help.

I never would have found this without running Wiztree, so thanks a lot, you saved my computer.

That's the only reason Adobe needs. That's the only question they ask of their employees when designing software.
"But is it stupid?"
"You're damn right, sir. It's the dumbest shit we've ever seen. We'll call it 'Creative Cloud'. Our customers will hate it. It's just retarded, sir."
"Saadiq, you've got a bright future."
"I'm Mandeep."
"That's stupid. I love it."

It's backup files for videos that are no longer on my computer because I didn't have space for them. I backed them up on DVDs.
It's like they give out bonuses for being stupid and useless at Adobe.

Okay so I can't find anything on Youtube or any other site including Microsoft's own website that addresses what is happening to my computer. The C drive on my computer now has nothing on it but my windows 10 install, this drive is 1TB in size and yet it keeps getting taken up by windows ten until there is no space left.

1) how old is your drive?
2) is your drive solid state?

MVME and I got it in 2020 when I built my current PC.

Well you already solved the problem, my thinking was that you had an old SSD and the cells were dying off rapidly causing the disk size to shrink and read improperly. I don't know if that's ever actually happened but I know that SSDs lose their storage capacity over time before they croak.

Okay, draw a circle then.

Paint.NET Winchuds:

GIMP GNUtards+Linuxcels:

Truly, this is the superior solution. Instead of taking one step, you take four obscure steps to accomplish the same thing. At least it respects the user's freedoms!

I love how the fix to this was deleting a load of shitty Adobe backups because the average adobe pajeet couldn't develop decent software to save his life but the Linux slaves instantly attempted to get you to completely reinstall your OS... Fucking faggots

To be fair, it would have solved his problem, since Adobe Premier is incompatible with Linux. Since he'd no longer be making videos, he no longer would have a problem with excessive video backups.

True enough and lets be real the world would probably be better off without whatever degenerate shit he was editing together...

light necro, did you use WinDirStat to figure it out?

Were they in Temp?

Windows used to dump data in temp when you would open rar/zip files in explorer. So opening archives in explorer would extract them in temp and just leave them there.

Which is not a problem, but constantly opening archives of 10GB video games made the temp folder eat up up to 200GB on C:

But I think that issue was fixed

temp along some other folders is usually the first thing windows suggests to purge once it notices drive space gets under a certain percent.
it can even be started manually via properties via "disk cleanup".
