One night I had 90gb free storage but 1 day later I only had 62gb.

​

I havent installed anything neither update my windows.

​

If anyone knows a fix tell me

    Several possible reasons, so I’ll order by likelihood, and multiple answers may be compounded together as correct:

    1. You’re mistaken on how much space you had, I dont see a reason for you to look at the exact number before shut down and then again on log in, unless you were expecting something.
    2. You really need to clean temp files
    3. Windows, driver, software, game updates/ leftover files
    4. Onedrive or another cloud sync software auto downloading stuff
    5. Something you’ve downloaded recently that actually used a lot more space than you anticipated (download size do not correlate to disk usage, compression is ubiquitous over downloads)
    6. Possible malware.
    7. Hardware failure (corrupt file table or corrupt files creating bad reads, or sectors too damaged to use)

      Regarding #2. At one point, I had 50gb of steam temp files that had built up. Had to manually delete them, but if you are sure it’s not #1 it could have been something along those lines that cleaned itself up.
