Plus the system restore backups are using 22Gb so you can delete all but the last one to recover more space

I remove recovery files and now I have 29GB free space. I will be watching this free space and tell if it will be again less ans less. Probably it is not virus, but it was this recovery tool and when I move files from C to another partition it made recovery, so I lose this free space. Thanks.

Maybe you should buy an external hard drive. You can copy all important files off from your PC.

And you can plug in the harddrive when you need it, and your files are mostly safe from viruses which in fect your PC
but not the harddrive when its not plugged in.

I am doing this at the moment.

A cd-r(w)/dvd-r(w) would also work. Backup data. That is the most important. Applications can always be downloaded/installed again.

I have external disc 1TB and 200MB in my computer. Definitely problem was with windows restore backups. When I have removed files and have had more extra free space, windows have created new restore backup so again I have lose free space, and again and again. Now I have 28.9GB free space, so everything works well. Thank you everybody and sorry for alert. BTW I use external disc to make backups - not system partition.
