I have the following directory on my computer that is using approximately 50%

of my hard drive:

 

C:\Users\(name)\app\roaming

 

The folder continues to get larger and if I delete the contents the next day

it is back and at the same size. Other users in my area, including my

personal notebook, and desktop also have this directory, but it is less than

5GB total at any point. I hope someone can help determine what the directory

is for and how can I limit it's size.

you mean ..\AppData\Roaming?

It's where your user settings for your programs are stored.

Yes, \appdata\roaming (sorry) However, this directory is taking up about 50%

of my drive and others in my office have the same software and the same

directory is less that 2GB. I think I have a wrong setting is shadow volume

copy or my profile, but I'm not sure.

 

Any suggestions?
