Jennifer recently bought a new computer to type a new manuscript she’s been working on. She also stored a lot of movies on it to watch during her free time. Though the performance was good at the beginning, it deteriorated quickly over a small period of time. Which of these is the most likely cause?

Decreasing free space on the hard drive

Explanation:

The rapid loss of hard drive free space on some days is like an accident, and we can determine the causes in much easier ways which include:

1. File System Corruption

2. Virus Attacks

3. Windows Restore Points

4. Hibernation Mode

5. Hidden Files

6. Temporary and Cached Files

7. Unknown Reasons

They are prone to bring damage to your drive itself.

If all listed above are not the cause, and you cannot figure out what is eating up your hard drive space, probably you want to do a complete reinstall. Here we recommend you to back up your hard drives before you start.
