JALAR Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Something wrong happens when I use uTorrent. I always save all downloaded files in external HDs, even so, I lose free space in my main drive, where Windows and the program is installed, that is, the drive C:uTorrent eats up free space in my disk. I have checked the files with Glary Utilities and I found nothing abnormal. However, I have lesser and lesser space.How can I remove this junk data? I have tried to remove manually downloaded torrents + data, but it did not work at all, because only the downloaded files were removed and the free space was not restored.May somebody help me? It is urgent!I thank you in advance for any support.Best regards!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 What internet security software do you have installed?Does it do logging? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JALAR Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Thanks for answer.The security software here is Avira. And its version is 13.0.0.3880I have checked the system with it and with Kaspersky Virus Removal Tool and no virus and adware was found.Only free space goes away every time I use uTorrent to download something. And it does not work to uninstall (and reinstall afterwards), because the system does not recover free space at all.Have you ever heard something about this? How can we solve it?Thanks for supporting me!Best regards! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreadWingKnight Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 Are you seeing WHERE in your system the hard drive space is becoming eaten? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JALAR Posted July 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 No. I can not see it. The free space is simply eaten up. It should be about 50 Gb, but it is just 10 Gb and decreasing and decreasing. Today it was 11 Gb and, after downloading three files to test again, it becomes 10 Gb as I said.I have ran the Disk Analyses by Glary Utilities to see where something unusual could be, but it shows nothing wrong.Remember, I save all downloaded files (with uTorrent) in a separate drive, an external hard disk.

DreadWingKnight Posted July 22, 2013 Report Share Posted July 22, 2013 I know the free space in my disk is going away gradually and the resposible is uTorrent.Based on what?Based on what you've told us so far, it's not uTorrent. It's something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciaobaby Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 Do you have a fixed size swap file, or is Windows allowed to adjust the size as and when required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
