I'm about a year into windows 8,which came pre installed on a Lenovo C440
64 bit, 1 terrabite HD partitioned into C,467 GB,E,storage 437 GB
I updated to 8.1 a few weeks ago and aside from the 'feeling' that everything is running a bit slow
all else seems fine
except: ever since i got 8 I've been losing space on C drive,about a GB or 2 a week
somewhere I got advice to go to System,delete all restore points and then create a new restore point
I'd do this whenever I'd be down 4/5 gigs and get all the lost space back
since I went to 8.1 I'm losing a gig or more a day, and it doesn't come back after the delete restore process
I use CC cleaner daily and remove everything but cookies ( way too much trouble to have to log in again at every site I go to)
I don't hibernate,just sleep
I auto defrag once a week
I have Trend Micro do a full scan nightly
I still have plenty of space but it's driving me nuts that I've lost about 9 GB in 3 weeks of 8.1
Any advice is welcomed and thanked in advance
edit: I have searched many threads here and can find nothing similar
