Has anyone ever had an issue when downloading things to D: drive SSD, (or any other drive for that matter) where it starts removing space from your C drive? Recent issue for me and it's driving me insane.

The weird part about this is that it IS NOT downloading to my C drive, I can find whatever game/file, etc. within the D drive, (add or remove programs in settings).

It causes my downloads to stop, with STALKER 2 coming which is going to be 160GB, I REALLY need to figure out what's causing it. I currently have 70GB of space in my C drive, I downloaded a game recently, where the C drive filled up, eventually it showed 0 bytes available, however, this time the download continued. Then I kept getting notifications that my C drive was empty. Then a few hours later it seemed to gradually free itself up again, and I was back at 70gb in my C drive again.
