    C Drive showing more space occupied than it adds up to. How to resolve this issue?


    C drive is showing more space used overnight. Drive went from around 120GB to 778GB used. I know it is wrong. How can I fix it? Tree Size Program says that the page file systems are containing 774.9 GB. How can this happen and what do I do?

    Windows C drive Storage issue

    I have an issue regarding disk space of Windows C drive. I have not installed much softwares but the drive shows only 56 gb free space out of 220 gb. I looked in the drive to find big softwares but didn't find any softwares which occupied 150+ gb of my
    storage. I want to know if there is any default software application which occupies this much space. Please kindly help me to resolve this problem.

    Unallocated Space to C Drive

    Hi Travis,

    It appears that a disk partition was created but was never assigned its allocation. Assuming there are no files stored in the unallocated partition, perform these steps to combine it with your C: drive:

    • In Disk Management, right-click on (CC Drive showing more space occupied than it adds up to. How to resolve this issue? :) which appears next to the
      Unallocated partition.
    • Select Extend.

    Let us know if you're able to combine the spaces after following the steps above.

    Regards.
