    Reserved space taking up all the storage space on phone

    The reserved space on my Nokia Lumina phone is taking up almost all the storage. I don't

    know what is in the reserved space and I don't know how to delete what is in the

    reserved space. My photos and music are not taking up much space. But I have

    almost no space left on my phone.

    This seems to have happened recently and I am wondering if Windows 10 is causing

    something to be in the reserved space.

    Why some unaccesible space is reserved in a storage?

    Much like qubit said, for powers of 2, yes. But lately you are seeing SSD's with 120GB or 240 GB capacity, etc. They are automatically reserving the extra space, so a 240GB SSD now has the same storage space as one listed as 256. They've just set aside 16GB for wear levelling, etc.

    windows 10 system and reserve taking up too much space

    Hi,



    Windows Restore Points does eat up tremendous amount of your disk space and clearing it would indeed help free up some space. Aside from restore points, there are other invisible factors that can eat away your hard drive space like temporary and cached files.
    For us to better understand why you keep on getting error messages about your storage space being full, we would like to ask the following questions:

    • When did you first encounter the issue?
    • Which Windows version and build is you device running? Type winver on the search bar, and then press
      Enter to find out.
    • What specific error message or error code did you get?
    • Could you repost the screenshots again?


    In the meantime, we suggest you check the steps provided by Greg Carmack on this

    thread
    about clearing system and reserve after an upgrade and see if it helps.



    We look forward to your response.
