I know I've had a similar issue in the past but as of the last few days, the storage on my SSD where my OS is installed has fluctuated significantly over the last few days. I noticed my space was decreasing slowly (about 500MB/day) a few days ago and today when I looked at it, I somehow gained 8GB of free space. I did delete two old programs I no longer use (Sandboxie and NexusModManager) but after deleting those two programs (and all files within after uninstallation) only gave me around 700MB.
Is there any explanation as to why a drive will randomly gain and lose space without any external interfering on my part? I'm the only one who uses this PC and I recently scanned my entire PC top to bottom with Spybot, Malwarebytes, and Avast and came up with nothing (aside from the usual few trackers that Spybot finds). It's been a very long time since I reformatted but I'm not sure why that would cause these fluctuations.
