How much disk space did you save?
Yeah thanks for the info, that certainly explains some things.

So what does it actually do?
I've noticed that my HDD seems quite full, even though it shouldnt.

A while ago I noticed that the disk space on my computer seemed to be more full than it should have been (nearly full when I only had a few games on it). I did some rummaging and found the windows system protection had a max disk usage of 300GB (and only about 1% - 10% of a disks space is really needed for it). So I changed the setting and saved myself a lot of space in the process.
To change the setting (or check if it is using far too much space):
Start -> R-click computer -> properties -> system protection (make sure when the new window opens you're in the system protection tab) -> highlight the drive you want to check and click configure -> use the slider to change the max usage.
Here is a video guide as my description is a bit verbose: https://youtu.be/QMxT4V2CtuQ
On my two computers (laptop and desktop) I saved 300GB of space on both.
Also check this setting regularly (once a month, as for me it increases sometimes (although not by much). Other programmes such as anti-virus software may increase the max usage valve when the update themselves. I think that was what occurred to me).
This will only affect some people. Most of you will probably not have this problem.
