Hi James, sorry, I was offline . . .
Please past another screenshot of TreeSize, I need to compare that to a previous shot to locate the difference in folder size and narrow this down as to a cause . . .
Temporary files increasing every day by the gigabyte

Yesterday I went to a computer repair person because I was getting messages that I was out of storage. He had never heard of this problem but he ran a piece of software and said I would be good for a long time. Well since yesterday another 6 gigs of temporary files have appeared in my storage. I read some other articles first in this forum and tried the troubleshooter method and that didn't do anything. It said it could not find anything wrong. I don't want to bring it back to the computer repair person because he was just as perplexed as I am right now.

That Roaming folder is normal and required by Windows, don't try to delete that . .
Can you see inside that Roaming folder in TreeSize to see what sub folder is using that space?
