Slow, methodical response best for many computer issues

Q: I know this letter is hopelessly not as "brief as possible," but I thought I'd write it anyway. My Dell Windows 8.1 laptop's C drive has recently started filling up for unknown reasons, sometimes as much as 1 GB a day. I've tried some of the fixes like disk defrag/cleanup, disabling hibernation, uninstalling old programs, deleting old restore points and, of course, the Recycle Bin is empty. While I gained some space in doing so it was a brief reprieve as I still continue to lose space regularly. I also wanted to try removing the Windows.edb file (I've never used the Windows search anyway) but couldn't figure out how to do it.
