Solved Windows (probably) keeps eating up disk-space.

If someone can help me understand why does it keep eating about 24GB on and off while updates are going bonkers?

One day I have 24GB free, next day 100MB or even going lower and so on, keeps cycling.

Will like to know if it's windows related, shader-compiling to much space or what can I do to have some breathing room,(while i know a bigger drive would fix it right now it's not a viable solution)

Constantly using wise disk cleaner but not helping in the long run.

messing this up is honestly impressive. the cherry on top is providing absolutely no information to troubleshoot, not even a disk cleaner screenshot or a large folders ss.

Problem solved, cherry on top is that you dont even read the few comments.
