A visitor tries out an HP Spectre XT laptop computer featuring an Intel Ultrabook processor at the Internationale Funkausstellung (IFA) 2012 consumer electronics trade fair on August 31, 2012 in Berlin, Germany. IFA 2012 is open to the public from today until September 5.
Right now, some rumors claim that Windows 10 is suffering from a bug that will annoyingly use up all your free space. This could cause a PC software’s hard drive to fill up quite quickly, especially if users install a bunch of online games and other programs.
However, it would not stack up suddenly if the software is working properly. Although this is the case, there are some instances where users are seeing a rapid increase in their memory space.
If you are seeing this unusual behavior on your Windows 10 PC or laptop, then there’s a high chance that your device is suffering from the new free space bug issue.
To give you more idea, here’s how Windows 10’s new garbage gigabyte issue works and how it can be resolved.

This issue was first spotted by a Reddit user. He said that a Windows security application is the one behind this major flaw.

Meanwhile, security experts said that there’s something you can do to fix it. All you have to do is follow these steps:
- Go to the “C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindows DefenderScansHistoryStore” in your file explorer.
- After that, press CTRL + A to select all the visible files that will appear.
- Once selected, press SHIFT + Del to permanently delete the files from your system.
