    windows 10 size is 4 gb but it occupies more space while installing it

    hi,
    windows 10 size is 4gb but installing it on c drive with 31.4 gb free space, renders only 2 gb free space .
    is it possible to reduce it to 5 or 6 gb.

    Space occupied in documents with nothing stored in it

    Thanks for the answer. But I am still facing the problem. Actually when I click on the documents icon, it shows the contents of my d drive (The documents folder is also labelled 'D:\'). I tried doing what you had suggested but no new folders popped up in
    the documents folder. I also tried searching for documents in the C drive but could not find any large files. All it showed was several docs in bytes and KBs.

    I am also facing the same issue with the apps. In the storage settings of C drive, Apps constitute hardly 200MB (I had deleted most of the apps due to low disk space) but it shows 2.58GB occupied.

    I also tried running the disk cleanup but that did not help either.

    App still occupied space after installing

    Unknown files occupying space

    My laptop has space issues. The SSD has 237 space capacity, using around 110gb of space, but there is/are unknown files occupying space. I have tried all possible solutions, deleted windows.old folder, deleted all system restore files, limited space usage
    by system restore, and checked windows cleanup i also noticed that this space became occupied when i restored the computer to an earlier version, and it increased when i tried to undo the restoration.

    I am using window 10 2004.

    This is an a scan from windirstat
