  1. 145gb Missing Hard Drive Space due to System & Reserved


    Hi , my problem is i am missing 145gb from probably old windows 10 upgrade files in System Files .

    i am running Windows 10 Pro 64bit Version 1903 (OS Build 18362.356). Original OS was a clean install on a new pc and a Samsung NVme 500gb ssd around mid-February 2019 , so no Windows.old file. I have also deleted windows.edb indexing file which i had moved to D: drive and was around 70gb , so this 145gb must be something else. I have disabled hibernation , i have deleted all restore points and set system protection to minimum size (also tried disabling-turning off it just in case) , i keep 4gb as virtual memory

    i have tried all the tips you have recommended on similar issues (Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup ,sfc /scannow , Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth , sfc /scannow , Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase) and still nothing happen. Just before i wrote this msg i tried turning off indexing and search properties on all my hdd's still the problem persists

    WinDirStat shows 75,3gb should be my total C:\Drive usage , then a 7-8gb system files + 4gb virtual memory + 4,5gb system protection should be the typical usage. What can i do to avoid to fresh windows install ? i have tons of vst installed and folders set up just as i wanted so i can get some work done , it would really save my life if you can give me a solution without having to do a clean re-install. Thank you all

    System and Reserved Files are taking too much space. 350GB

    Hello,

    The system and reserved files may continue to consume space due to a certain service log that could add to your system as a result of multiple operations. At this moment, we suggest that you run
    CHKDSK command prompt by following the steps below:

    • Plug in your external hard drive, USB drive or memory card to PC.
    • Open Command Prompt; then, press Windows key + X button and select the
      Command Prompt (Admin) option.
    • In the new Command Prompt window, type chkdskE: /f /r. Here, you should replace E with the drive letter of your external hard drive or USB device.

    Note: This operation will run CHKDSK to check and repair file system corruption, errors, corruptions or bad sectors on the external hard drive or USB disk.

    It is also advisable to manually delete files in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS. To do so, follow the steps on this article:

    Clean Up Component-Based Servicing logs
    .

    Let us know the result and progress of your troubleshooting.
