Anyone using Bluestacks? I have a question
0
Bluestacks is a program that can run android games ".apk" files, my question is why it drains huge amount of space on my HDD? the drop of space is extremely fast an estimated size of 4gb to 6gb in less than 20mins OMG!, but I guess it's because it randomly downloading and installing apps in my computer without my permission. I found this so annoying but when I restarted my OS it will returns to original state. I'm using beta1 and I'm newbie on this one anyway this is a good program.

When running Bluestacks, it uses your memory (the "system resource" part), which is the same case when you are running any program to your computer. This memory is apart from how big does Bluestacks take up on your computer.
Just imagine that that you are being hired by your boss and you take up 1 square meter of space. Since you can't work on that small space, you now ask for a workdesk or cubicle or something. Now you are taking up more space.
The reason why the memory changed back to its original state after restarting your OS is because programs tend to leave some of this "system resource" as "in use" if you only exited the program. These will be "vacant" when you shut down your computer or reboot your computer.
It's just like your personal office cubicle (if you work on an office) where your personal items and work-related papers are still there when you go back on the next day. They will only be removed when you quit your job.
TL;DR Bluestacks is doing its job, so you must give whatever "resource" it needs. He won't return them until you shut down or restart your OS, though.

In short bluestacks keeps downloading and installing apps without my permission that's why the "my apps" always gets new apps even I do nothing, anyway I downloaded bluestack in their official website and looks like this one is better from my first download just imagine 2gb to 3gb in less than 10 mins that's ridiculous. Looks like there is a problem in my first bluestack download.
Back on topic when I unplug my internet it won't download so it will not decrease my HDD.
