Windows Drive Getting Full

I have this problem recently that when I'm playing a game, my C drive (windows drive) gets completely full and then gives the message to free up some space.

It goes from 10 GB free space to 46 MB. Only happens when running a game. (Also Steam is installed on another drive, so doubt it has to do with Steam.)

Could be temp files or saves.
Move the auto save files directory to a different drive.
Empty temp files folders recycle bin.
Run a disc cleanup should also help

Chances are it's virtual memory/cache
When you are playing a game or loading any application. some of its data will remain cached so future runs during that session will be faster

If you want to get some disk space back and you don't use hibernate mode for example
open cmd as admin and type
powercfg -h off

you could move virtual memory to another drive with more space. you can even tell windows not to use your C drive for virtual memory. though if you do not have virtual memory at all, you will quickly run out. your best bet is to disable virual memory for C and enable it for your biggest harddrive.

So... clear some space off your C: drive. Am I missing something? "I don't have enough free space on my C: drive." Make some space, move stuff to a second drive or an external drive. Whatever. It's your system, you have permission to administrate it.

Can't move anything? Then sounds like you need a bigger drive. Get a bigger drive and clone it.

These are your solutions. There is no magic "make stuff use less space then it needs."

10GB just isn't tons of space for everything you might need to do. And I'm not one of these "leave hundreds of GB free" guys, or else. But if the free space you have isn't enough, then it seems pretty simple that you need more free space than you're running currently.

If not already done you can disable hibernation, its not really needed if your running SSD's and it will free up about 10/12 gb of free space. Ultimately it would seem you need a bigger drive.

You do you, but with ssd's you gain nothing in speed so faster start is not relevant and the possiblity of hib file corruption no longer exists.

i gain one thing: i can start right back where i left off on whatever project i am working on. another advantage is steam. even with SSD, steam takes time to start.
