    All of a sudden space problems


    Today I opened my Windows Explorer and saw a red beam under my 'Windows 10' partition. I originally made this partition 99.0 GB big. Now I only have a little over 9 GB left. I searched for big files using Windows Explorer's Search Tools - Size > Gigantic (> 128 GB). I did not find anything unusual, except the usual suspects (hiberfil.sys and so). My 'Gigantic files' are 24.1 GB big atm.


    In the end I moved my iTunes backup files to another partition after some magic (creating a symbolic link to the new iTunes backup directory) to create more space. I have 19.2 GB free space and the beam is blue again.


    How big should a Windows 10 partition actually be?

    :)

    Windows 10 1709 System Restore problems...


    That seems to be an attempt at Option 2 in the tutorial, which requires you to
    a. Boot to a command prompt (Did you?)
    b. You then seem to be mixing steps 3,4 and 5, thus your command is incorrect.

    I suggest Option 1 is easier.

    If you still have problems, please repost listing each specific step and saying which option from the tutorial you are using. Thanks.

    space in hard dist for update windows 10

    Hello ManolisTsitkanos,

    To better assist you with your concern, I'd like to know the following:

    • Confirm which build is currently installed on your device. To check, follow the steps below:
    • Press Windows key + R, then type in winver.
    • Click OK.
    • What is the make and model of your computer?
    • What is the exact error message that you're getting when performing an update?

    Meanwhile, I'd suggest following the steps in this article
    to help you free up drive space on your Windows 10 device.

    Looking forward to your response.

    Regards.
