Answer 2

Sometimes it can be the swap file. Windows creates a hidden file that it uses when you run out of system memory. It's like virtual memory. It doesn't really contain any data other that what programs store in it just like they do system ram. If you have this set to auto which is the default windows setting, then windows controls it and makes more space available if it's needed. You probably don't have a lot of system ram so Windows is forced to use the virtual memory sometimes and sees a need to increase the size of it.

Free what kind of space? RAM? Storage?

Answer 4

Nothing is wrong. It is using free space. This happens when more data takes up space.
