VAIO Care filling my hard-drive

A while ago, my computer was running out of hard drive space. Had 500 GB. Found that odd, I was pretty sure I wasn't adding any big files. Even downloads shouldn't have eaten up GB's so quickly.

I used WinDirStat to check files. Found a folder that was bloated with around 30-50 GB. Forgot what it was (wanted to write about this, just forgot). Was one of the folders found in:

C:\Program Files\Sony\VAIO Care

Not the VAIO Care folder itself. But one of the subdirectories. Noticed VAIO Care was doing hidden routine checkups or something and storing some data files or something in this folder. Was racking up huge. Deleted all of them, laptop still okay.

Wanted to stop this routine stuff from VAIO Care, didn't use it anyways. Found that I had to go to Explorer. Right click on "This PC", click "Manage".

I disabled all the VAIO Care scheduled tasks. In the tree browser on the left of the Task Scheduler, I went to:

Computer Management (Local) -> System Tools -> Task Scheduler - > Task Scheduler Library -> Sony Corporation -> VAIO Care

I highlighted all the tasks, and clicked disable in the bottom left. If I remember right, some tasks I had to single click and disable. Anyways, after that, the folder I mentioned earlier stopped filling with report files.



So ya. File bloating. Don't like it. Just happy to figure the source.
