    I forgot I was installing Forza Motorsport 7 on my PC last night and turned it off. Only realised this morning that it was a bad idea. Thought that the installation would remove the files, but all of the space that would have been taken up by Motorsport 7 was already taken up, and now I'm left with very little space, and the game isn't showing as being installed.I've tried searching the WindowsApps folder for anything that could be taking up a bunch of space, or any recently modified files using WinRAR, running as admin, but the only thing I could find was an empty Deleted folder. Nothing is

    Show storage space in This PC


    I can't get This PC to show the storage space bars for my drives and I've done all that's been suggested in this thread.
    Any ideas why I might not be able to make the storage space bars show?

    External Drive using storage spaces does not work on my new Win 10 PC?

    Hi Leo,

    Storage Spaces not only increase storage over time as you add drivers to your PC, it will also help you in protecting your data from drive failures. To isolate your concern, we'd like to know if you were getting any error messages when trying
    to connect the external drive to your new PC. Also, can you tell us what troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest that you run the Hardware and Devices troubleshooter to perform a diagnostic process on your system that will check and fix issues related to Storage Spaces. To do this, please follow the steps below:

    • Type troubleshooting in the Search bar, then press
      Enter.
    • Click View all from the left pane.
    • Locate and click Hardware and Devices to run the troubleshooter then follow the next steps.

    Furthermore, here is a link for more information about the Storage
    Spaces in Windows 10    .

    We'll be looking forward to your response.
