local disk C full suddenly

My local disk c was suddenly full. The size keep change(decreased) whenever I refreshing. I tried to restore my system but my restore point has deleted. I have found some weird system files in Windows folder and those files have weird name. These files made my local disk full and cant be delete.

I would launch the Disk Manager (diskmgmt.msc), then use the Error Checking function under the Tools submenu.

Hi,

Use this free Program to see what is taking up the space.

You can clean up your Hard Drive using these two methods.

"Delete files using Disk Cleanup"

Using the Free CCleaner Program:

Under NO condition use the Registry cleaning Option in CCleaner

And download, install, update and scan your System with the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware:

And Norton Backup, if you are using Norton, can do strange things with filling up Hard Drive space.

Cheers.

What does not work?

And what of the list of options I gave you does not work.

And what error messages, if any?

Did you run TreeSize.

What did Disk Cleanup remove?

What space was freed up after using CCleaner.

Was any Malware found when you scanned for Malware?

Yes. I have try treeSize, also WindirStat too. I scan my system with malwarebytes, avast, avira, 360totalsecurity. Detected somethings, but they are only the game patch i used, had clean them all. I used ccleaner, just clean at least 1mb files. Maybe i will just format and reinstall my windows. Thanks for options.
