(The Question)
SuperUser reader Archa wants to know how to find out what types of data are slowly, but surely, consuming disk space on his computer:
超级用户阅读器Archa想知道如何找出缓慢但又肯定会消耗其计算机磁盘空间的数据类型：
For weeks and probably months, I have regularly checked to see how much disk space is still available on my Windows 8.1 system. Over the past few weeks, I have mysteriously lost almost seven GB of disk space (going from 850 GB to 843 GB).
在数周甚至数月的时间里，我定期检查Windows 8.1系统上仍然有多少磁盘空间。 在过去的几周中，我神秘地丢失了将近7 GB的磁盘空间(从850 GB变为843 GB)。
Of note, I recently stopped a computer update, which took up approximately six GB of space. This update appeared to have stalled and never completed installing. I do not download any software and only download a few pictures now and then. Yet, the amount of available disk space still appears to be slowly dropping.
值得注意的是，我最近停止了计算机更新，该更新大约占用了6 GB的空间。 此更新似乎已停止并且从未完成安装。 我不下载任何软件，仅偶尔下载一些图片。 但是，可用磁盘空间量似乎仍在缓慢下降。
How can I determine where this additional data is coming from?
