Your pc is probably making restore files. Windows does this to make it possible to put your pc back to a day in the past. I think your pc makes this "back up" t night.

You should be able to find some file s named ***000.chk or something like that. You can delete these files ig you want to (this disables you to set back the system)

.chk files are from chkdisk after a hard reboot, not from system restore
"system volume info" is where the restore files are found
