I should mention that sometimes temporary backup files during something like an adobe update don't always get erased.
Though I doubt added files make the registry grow to a noticeable point.Īs others have said, Windows, and various programs auto update themselves. And your registry is going to grow even after you uninstall things. I'm really not sure how big MFT's are, or how fast their size grows. the more files go on your computer, the larger the MFT gets. Something else to take into consideration is your MFT will grow with time. Please, does anyone more knowledgable than I know if it's normal for Windows to grow with time? Are there unnecessary Windows files being kept after updates? Thanks in advance for any help. Given the above information it seems to me that the only place this extra "stuff" could be is in "C:/Windows", but using WinDirStat doesn't show any abnormally large files or folders.
I've added a few new programs since first creating the partition, enough to account for, being very generous, 300-400 MB, but in my mind there are still about 1+ GB of occupied space for which I can't account. For the life of me I can't figure out why. For the first about four months after doing the above I was left with 19.9 or 20.0 GB free space, but sometime in the last couple of months-I've been extra busy so I'm not sure exactly when it started-the remaining free space dropped under 19 GB. Why? Every three or four weeks since I did the install I've followed the same procedure: I update Windows I update all other programs I make a new restore point then use "Disk Cleanup" (every option ticked) and "Disk Cleanup/More Options" under "C:/Properties" to free disk space and delete all but the newest Restore Point I run CCleaner I do a "System Disk Monthly" defrag using MyDefrag 4.3.1 then I back up the partition using EaseUS ToDo Backup 3.5. Now, a little more than six months later, the free space is down to 18.6 GB. After installing a custom version of Windows 7 64 bit SP1, and all my auxiliary software, on a 30 GB partition on my laptop there were 20.0 GB of free space remaining. This is a non-emergency situation, but any answers to ease my brain itch would still be much appreciated.
