    "Other People" category taking up storage space

    I have done that before and freed up a little space. If I do that now, I will gain 142MB of disk space.....my issue is the 61.3 GB occupied by "other people". I'm looking specifically for what is taking up that space listed under "other people"

    "Other People" category taking up storage space

    Help. I am running out of storage space because 61.3 GB of that is being taken up by "other people" on my computer. I share the computer with my husband but there is no way he is using this amount of space. I have total capacity of 169 GB of space on
    my C drive. How do I free up this space?

    What is happening to my storage space?

    Hi RearedAmoeba244, my name is John D. an independent advisor happy to help you with this.

    Based on the information you have provided, it's possible that temporary files created during the download process could be taking up space on your system. Windows 11 has several built-in tools that can help you manage your storage space and free up space if needed. To address this issue, I suggest trying the following steps:

    > Use Storage Sense or Disk Cleanup: These tools can remove temporary files and other unnecessary data from your system. You can access them by searching for them in the search bar or going to Settings > System > Storage.

    > Check what’s using up space on your PC: You can also see what’s using up space on your PC by going to the Storage menu in Settings. This will show you how much space is being used by different types of files and programs.

    I hope these suggestions help you resolve the issue you're facing.

    Best regards,

    John D.
