    Space randomly disappears?
    « on: June 18, 2009, 04:23:14 PM »
    Hi.

    This really isn't a problem, per se, but I would really like to know what's going on.
    My computer generally has a file space used of ~151gb without a restore point, and a space of ~149 with a restore point. So far as I know, restore points are the only things computer generated that can eat up multiple gigabytes of free space.
    That is, yesterday, while I was playing Call of Duty 4 for 30 minutes, I checked my disk space and saw that it randomly dropped by 3 gigabytes to ~146.

    My computer did not update, my computer did not do anything at all that I know of. But suddenly the file space dropped by 3 gigabytes.

    Truth be told, I don't really care that much. I just want to know what happened.

    Thanks.

    Temporary files...
    Is page file size set, or managed by Windows?

    What do you mean here? In Vista system restore size is set to the minimum of 30% of free space or 15% of the volume.
