All of a sudden I got from having like 40GB or something used on my SSD now it's telling me I have 100% used up. This isn't a fresh install, system restore is off wtf is going on? Can anyone tell me how I can view where all this crap came from. Malwarebytes says nothing infected, running bitdefender. This makes no sense.
Edit, issue was PIA VPN. If you used this be aware this is a new issue with them so it seems I updated just a day or two ago never had this issue. If you guys use this on your travel laptops or what not be aware.
Apparently this is what they say to do to fix it:
Our system logs a large amount of data to disk, which can be of concern for SSD and other flash-based memory devices. We do offer a way to disable this logging, via the creation of a file in C:\Program Files\pia_manager\. For this, you just need to create a blank file, with no extension, named "nolog" in that folder, and this will disable all logging features of our application. You can remove that blank file anytime to re-enable logging, in the event you should ever need to do so (for example, if you needed to derive a debug log for troubleshooting purposes).
To create the file, go to C:/Program Files/pia_manager, right-click on the screen, and choose "New -> Text Document". Rename this blank text document to "nolog" (without quotes).
Next, go to Start -> Programs -> Accessories, right-click on Command Prompt, and choose Run as Administrator. Here, enter the following commands, hitting enter after each line:
cd "C:\Program Files\pia_manager"
ren nolog.txt nolog
exit
