  1. Can't install latest updates because of lack of Drive C: space


    I have been having the same issue over and over and it doesn't seem like Microsoft is fixing this. I have a SSD drive of 128 GB and I have nothing on it except for Windows 10. I can't free up anymore space and it just seems to keep filling up and won't let me install updates. When i use the tools to free up space all it frees up is a few hundred MB and thats it. I freed up 4 GB and the update started downloading but it filled the HD and now theres not enough room to install the update. Is there any way to fix this issue?

    :)

    Unallocated Space to C Drive

    Hi Travis,

    It appears that a disk partition was created but was never assigned its allocation. Assuming there are no files stored in the unallocated partition, perform these steps to combine it with your C: drive:

    • In Disk Management, right-click on (CCan't install latest updates because of lack of Drive C: space :) which appears next to the
      Unallocated partition.
    • Select Extend.

    Let us know if you're able to combine the spaces after following the steps above.

    Regards.
