Did it disappear, what is using it? The answer is, temporary files and logs ate it! I found out that I had 15 GB worth of logs and other shit on my disk that I did not need. So I searched through it and made a small batch script deleting the stuff. You might say that you can use programs like ccleaner or so, but if you do not want to install these programs you will be served well with a small script running from time to time, deleting files ending with a specified extension. So here goes my script:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11

del /f /s /q %tmp%\.
rd /s/q %tmp%\
 
del /f /s /q %temp%\.
rd /s /q %temp%\
 
del /f /s /q %systemdrive%\*._mp
del /f /s /q %systemdrive%\*.log
del /f /s /q %systemdrive%\*.old
del /f /s /q %systemdrive%\*.dmp
del /f /s /q %systemdrive%\*.tmp

You can of course specify more extensions if you want to… Have fun with the script!
