Windows 10: C driveOS space loss

I recently installed windows 10 version 1709 ,and later updated to version 1903. i see that the space in c drive is gradually decreasing without any reason,,space occupied by the programme file is fixed. i noticed that about 2.5 gb space is occupied by pagefiles. i have 6 gb RAM with 2.6 gb virtual memory, but page file is creating spontaneously.i have no perfomance issue and everything is working fine except gradual space loss in c drive..my c drive space is 124 gb and 75 gb still remaining.should i delete page file to prevent progressive c drive space loss??

Note: I am a medium user,not running any game in my laptop, so my 6gb RAM should not be used fully so that page file need to be created.


Thanks in advance.

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 (C 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.

 

Loss of disk space despite clean install

@Augi1

You are missing a step, or don't realize you haven't gotten to that step yet.

This is step #10. It has nothing to do with deleting partitions. It simply tells the installation you intend to do a totally clean install.





Read these notes. What I have circled is what you need to do to have one unallocated space on your machine to install to.




Here is the place where you do that. In the example picture, it is already done. In your case, there will be a few partitions with data in them. I do not know exactly how many, but it's not important. Delete them all using the delete function I pointed to. Highlight each partition you see and click delete until all are gone and you have only one unallocated partition on the machine. That is where you will install Windows. If you delete all of the partitions first, it is impossible for you to still have that 454GB partition.





If you're not clear on any part of this, please ask. One of us will explain further.
