Yesterday, I noticed that my storage was suddenly full, so I deleted some files, but it just started filling back up on its own—like adding 1 GB every few seconds! I kept clearing more space, but the problem persists. I'm using an Asus TUF Gaming A15 with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H and an NVIDIA 3050 Ti, 15,773 MB of RAM, and 930 GB of storage. Because my storage is full, I've been logged out of most websites too. I ran an antivirus scan, but it didn't find anything wrong. I'm also using Windows 10.

If you’re really worried about your data, restoring your system might help. Just be careful—if you don’t want to wipe everything, make sure to back up anything important first. But I understand if wiping sounds too drastic for now.
I had a similar issue with Avast creating massive files in the background. If you have any antivirus software running, it might be worth checking if it's causing the problem. Sometimes they can create temp files that pile up.
It sounds like you might have something weird going on with your system. Have you tried using a tool like Space Sniffer? It helps visualize what’s taking up space on your drive, and you might be able to spot what's causing the issue. You can download it here: https://www.uderzo.it/main_products/space_sniffer/.
