You don't realise how many people never look into Downloads, so it just slowly grows and eats their disk.

@gronostaj Ya I thought about that, but how many use Disk cleanup? Anyways, you have a point that could help those that don't notice Downloads and use Disk Cleanup

bahua129055yIt's intolerable that any windows installation, no matter how well maintained, ALWAYS uses more and more storage over time, because of update residuals. Instead of simple package versions, everything is a patch to the entire OS. It's the worst design in OS software updates(followed closely by MacOS), which is ironic considering it's the most popular GC OS.

Well all I wanna know is why windows is eating 4gb idling when there is only the Nvidia drivers running on it... Back in the days it used far far less...

abcdev30985yIn Windows 10, there is an option which let you clear downloaded files, if it was not used in last 30 days. And old windows files after 7 days.

@Gregozor2121 oh yeah the good old days when vanilla didn't use more than chrome xd when 1.7.10 with 300 mods eat less ram+CPU than the latest vanilla something is wrong lol same with good old windows... Well apparently setting a fixed swap size saved around a gb ram but wtf how
Who at Microsoft thought that this is a good idea?
I wish I did not update, last update I did was a year ago and I was happy with it, now Windows feels like chaos ... Half the things are Dark themed and the other half is not. Lets see what the future holds
Also that Windows.old thing takes up 20GB that even if installation fails, it never succeeds in rolling back ... At least I was never able to rollback ...
