You are browsing the internet, right?
Clear your cache, see how much space comes back.

about 100MB.

Have you done a virus scan? And I recommend you also check the Internet data tracker, if you have one on your computer or as an online tool with your ISP, to see if anything has been downloading.

Many years back I realized my computer was infected with a growing raft of viruses. I started to lose disk space, and our capped Internet was going really quickly.

When trying to salvage my files in Mac OSX after virus remover tools failed, I found masses of folders. Thousands of them, all with names of games and programs, with megabytes of data in each. There were gigs stored there, and every file was hidden to Windows (even with "show hidden files" enabled).

I'm not sure what it is, but sometimes I wonder if my computer had been turned into a file host for torrenting or something sinister. I ended up clearing the hard drive and starting from scratch.

I don't think I have viruses, I'm usually good at that, but my Antivirus is Norton so who knows. IT expires soon though.

Spellcheck doesn't give a stuff.

I loose about 10GB a day.
Thats why I have 2 1TB backupdrives.
First one is filled
Second one only has 200GB left
and my computer only has 30GB left.
Edit
Yesterday it had 40GB
The day before that it had 50.7GB
The day before that it had 80GB (I moved my downloaded/baught operating systems onto my external drive)
The day before that it had 89.9 (I was doing some things with some images)
and I think you can fill out the rest.

Jesus stuff.

See if windows is creating restore points daily.

You could also consider monitoring where the space is going with something like this

Thank you, I'll see if this helps. I'll also defragment overnight.

Isn't steam constantly doing things?

Would be logical if I had steam.

Every day I look at my drive space and I loose about 1 GB of space every day. Yesterday it was at 53.4GB and today it is 54.7GB as an example. This has been going on for a week and I want it gone.

This is called Communism. You can't rely on the goodwill of people to get things done. Also, without money, the world would collapse. Bartering is inefficient on large scales.

Reason magazine has existed for 20 years, I'm pretty sure someone has verified their credibility.
