Firstly thanks again to everyone who contributed to this topic. I think I have the answer so thought I'd let everyone know.
Firstly another little utility to recommend. Windirstat "http://windirstat.info/" is a directory utility. This did show these unknown files but only as a calculation of...
You are correct in that this is getting beyond my expertise however I'll try what I can of these latest suggestions and if anything comes up trumps I'll let you know.
I guess that given the rate at which the drive is filling I have a little time yet before the C drive is filled so unless...
