mac hard drive filling up for no reason 2017

tl dr: I solved this by permuting all of the possible combinations of sticks after labelling them 1-4, based on that 1x boot order. The machine booted 1x and after that, black screen booth. I had this problem when replacing 4 OEM 16 sticks with 4 OWC 32 sticks. I bought 2-16gb Corsair Vengeance RAM as outlined above and configured them like this: I had 2 -8GB OEM RAM chips installed in Slot 1 and Slot 3 I tried several re-installs/configuration changes and confirmed all sticks were seated properly but the problem persisted until I found this thread and John's post. Only problem was, it didn't work initially and was throwing my 2017 iMac 27 3.4 i5 (18.3) into an endless restart/reboot loop. The new configuration would bring me to 48gb of total RAM. I purchased the Corsair Vengeance 32GB RAM: the author suggested via Amazon and installed 2x16gb sticks into blank slots 2 and 4 (I had 2x8gb OEM sticks in 1 and 3). , on the ease/$ savings of upgrading RAM in a 2017 iMac 27'. I think I got like 'bout 120-130 gigabytes free then, but it just filled up for some reason.Oh my God! After a weekend of trial and error and lots of online research, John's configuration worked for me! EDIT: And oh, I defragmented my computer about a week ago.

Also, I guess there's a good chance I might dealing with some virus or something, so I need some tips on some free virus/spyware/trojan/whatever scanners. I think I have had this problem longer than I want to admit, but I think it's time to fix this god damn problem, but I need some help because I got no clue what to do. And I am fairly damn sure I haven't filled up almost 6 gigabytes in a few days. I checked again now and saw that I had 74.9 gig free. I suspected this earlier, and I think it was a couple of days ago I had 81.8 out of 465 gigabytes. So I've been noticing lately that my hard drive fills up for no reason.
