    C:\Users file is over 100GB


    Hi,


    I was wondering if it was normal for my C:\Users file to be 107GB. I'm not exactly sure how to clean it out or what to delete. Was simply looking for pointers to get started. Everything just seems to be a shortcut to another location file location. I'm not exactly sure what these 107GB are made up of. I have about 30GB worth of programs on my computer program files + program files x86 in C:, and no program files the Users file. I can see that the AppData file contains about 40GB, but that still leaves out 60GB. My laptop runs great, but I just felt like this number was quite odd, but maybe I'm wrong. Any suggestions?

    :)

    User.000 issue after updating to 1909

    I'm one of the many people suffering from issues with user profiles after applying Update 1909 to Windows 10. I've read all the threads I can find on the topic here and have followed the suggestions, all to no avail. Any other thoughts are appreciated.

    After applying Update 1909, the ProfileImagePath was changed to c:\users\User.000
    One file that was always in use and couldn't be removed was left in c:\users\User (can't recall or find the exact file now), so I could never rename or remove the c:\user\User directory.

    I followed the multiple suggestions from Brink and others:
    • Rebooted at least 6 times
    • Enabled hidden Administrator
    • Booted into Safe Mode
    • Changed ProfileImagePath
    • Tried to rename c:\users\User but couldn't because a file was still in use
    • Copied all data from c:\users\User.000 into c:\users\User
    • Rebooted and had temporary profile
    • Followed steps in Brink tutorial to change ImageProfilePath; rebooted with no change
    • Restored using Restore Point from before Update 1909 - returned to single profile state (User.000)
    • Removed each update that was installed individually and rebooted after each update removal - profile state never changed
    • After all updates were removed, repeated the steps above with hidden Administrator, changing profile, etc. - same issue with file in use in c:\users\User
    • Followed all steps above with hidden Administrator but without copying files from User.000 to User - same results

    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    User file in C drive that is not a user file

    The name is a portion of my email address so in this respect it's familiar to me. But I do not recall ever using that portion to create a User name. Also, why does it only appear in a User file on my C drive and nowhere else where Users are listed? And
    why is it designated a System File? My main question is, can I delete it?

    C:\Users file is over 100GB

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
