Those other two answers could be correct.

It is also possible for you to have a self-replicating-to-infinity virus too. It's less likely than the first two answers here, but still a possibility.

Answer 2

Yes this may happen as hard drives with limited storage capacity, after its limit might not store or delete data. The rule of hard drives goes; that hard drives store entire data in its sectors and when the storage space gets decreased, it starts deleting the old saved data and accumulates new data to store.

Answer 3

is this can happen if files not deleted permanantly i.e. they are in recycle bin .

if u empty recycle bin then the space will be available or delete files using shift+delete

Answer 4

If the recycle bin never gets emptied and you always delete to the recycle bin. Normally, however, recycle bin space gets, you know, recycled.
