Hard Drive help



I wanted to ask if anyone could explain why my hard drive space is jumping all over the place, in the past 2 days its gone (in this order) from 75gb free space to 98gb to 88gb and now in the past hour 83gb. I havent installed or uninstalled anything nor downloaded anything. Does anyone know why this is happening because its very frustrating when it goes down by 15gb in one day for no apparent reason!

Thanks
