A few months ago, I bought a new laptop with a solid-state hard drive (SSHD) and recently I noticed that the available free space on the drive had reduced drastically. Just by chance, I noticed that there was a folder with the letters PICASA in the name which held a lot of .JPG files. I do use Picasa, a lot, so with some trepidation, I deleted this folder (please, no warnings about the dangers of deleting unknown folders!), and the available space suddenly shot up by 20GB, without jeopardising the performance of Picasa. This situation existed for a couple of days, but now the available space has suddenly gone down by about 15GB again. The folder that I deleted has not reappeared, so I am now wondering what is going on and what to do.
Where can I look to solve this mystery? It is a feature of SSHD? of Picasa? of Windows 10?
