| | Free Hard drive space shrinking Continued from: System Restore - disk space Do you have any idea why the space still continue to drop by 0.1, 0.2GB slowly even though i did not install any other programme? I am downloading something using Download Client, but the download is not even completed yet. The Disk space should'nt decrease right? |

| | Re: System Restore - disk space For the past 24 hours i've been using only the internet and download client. The space has dropped from 86.5(yesterday)slowly to 85.0% now. All my file are not even fully downloaded yet. And i did not do anything else. Is it normal for the space to drop bit by bit like this even without installing anything? Thanks |

| | Re: Free Hard drive space shrinking No it isn't normal for it to drop that much like that without installing anything or having anything saving backups or a lot of log files. As a test, turn off System Restore to see if it stops shrinking. |

| | Re: Free Hard drive space shrinking No, you can't backup restore points unfortunately, but you can create a new one after turning it back on. |

| | Re: Free Hard drive space shrinking GradeAbra, Was it System Restore that was still eating up the space even after you had set the max size for it to be only 3GB? |
