Question

EBWebWiev is eating my hard drive

Névtelen

I dont know that if this or a similar problem was posted here before or not.

Anyway i noticed that my C drive keeps getting full again and again. This is strange because on my C drive there are only the Windows(Win10) and a few launchers nothing else, every other programs,games,videos etc are on my D drive.

This thing which keeps growing nonstop is called Crashpad which can be found under Microsoft.Windows.Search_cw5n1h2txyewy > LocalState > EbWebView > Crashpad

I rly dont know what this program is and why this keep expanding non stop but it seems like that there are some background process that keeps crashing and creating crash reports.

I read in other forums that i can delete it but this is just a short time solution because its keep popping up and growing again. I read that for a guy, outlook created similar problems through this EbWebView, but i dont use Outlook,Excel etc.

If anybody has any idea or solution for this problem, please share it with me this thing is drives me mad.

Hi Artúr Szűc

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

That indicates it s thee Windows Search process generating those crash reports.

Click your Start Button, then just type index and from the resulting list open Indexing Options

On the resulting utility, select the Advanced Tab and click the 'Rebuild' button

That will clear out the old search index and create a new one

Delete those files that are filling up your drive an fate the search index is rebuilt check if those files are not filling up your drive again.
