Windows has basically always been infamous for taking more and more
disk space over time, no matter how much you try to clean it. It just
grows. No other OS I know of does this (for example I have been using
Linux for quite many years, and it still takes as much disk space as
it took when I first installed it, discounting the system components
that I have installed on purpose).

  Apparently that behavior is now an official feature that cannot be
turned off.

  Some people are running out of disk space, making everything break,
and they have no idea how to fix it.
