Who eats my disk space? [closed]
Windows 10. Every now and then ~4Gb of my disk space vanishes into a thin air. And then mysteriously re-appears after few minutes. I need a tool to track the offending process down. Any recommendation?

Too much regulation for no reason. The response by DrMoishe Pippik actually did help in my case. I am just waiting for few more days to see that problem is really gone before I accept the answer as the solution. Strange to find bureaucracy in technical forums.

If you have Virtual Memory set to different minimum and maximum sizes, the pagefile can grow or shrink when you have a lot of RAM in play. To prevent this, and to avoid fragmentation of the pagefile, set them to the same value.,

great tool, I will try to use it to track down the problem when it pops up next time. For now I have adjusted the pagefile sizes as suggested by DrMoishe Pippik and it seems to have stopped.
