My HD space is 140 GB, whenever I start my computer HD free space is autmatically reduced. free space was 51 GB when I turned it tomorrow it was 48 GB, and I did not copy or saved a single file to it. it happens on daily basis. Please help to save HD free space. I also have registed updated antivirus Kaspersky.
