Default Hard Disk Free Disk Space keeps changing wildly


Gotta a really strange problem for the last month. I got a 120Gb hard
drive. I have repeatedly done everything to delete old files, uninstall
old programmes, delete large folders, ran good antivirus and good
spyware programmes which all come clean, as well as defragging the hard
disk but still my free hard disk space looking via either Windows
Explorer or "C" drive , right click , properties, can vary between 15
Gb and 50Mb!
Windows keeps telling me anything from every 5 minutes to every
few hours or even directly after a re-boot/ power down that I have
sometimes as low as 40-50 Mb of free disk space left.
Other times it shows from 3Gb to 15Gb of free disk space and
everything works ok. I`m not getting any error codes other then "Low
Disk Space". It`s driving me nuts.
Has anyone got ideas what could be causing this please and what
I can do to fix this problem
Thanks

Run Disk Cleanup and remember to also remove the System Restore Files except
the latest one.
