The free space in the c drive in hard disc varies then and there even though no files r software etc added why

Further to the swapfile answer ... your System Restore will also use up disc space ....


Regularly defrag and occasionally dump the System Restore Files (make sure you've enjoyed system stability before dumping though)

the pagefile is your most likely culprit in this instance although your internat activity adds everypage you download to your computer so cleaning it out regularly helps in addition to the points mentioned by other users.

Reply:The operating systems frequently use a file (the swapfile) to suplement the ammount of RAM (this procedure is called "Virtual Memory"). The size of the swapfile is never the same and, if the swapfile is located on the "C:" drive, is normal to have less free space when the swapfile is bigger and more freespace when the swapfile is smaller.
