    C:/Windows/Temp file is a wopping 128 gbs


    I was checking out my computer and i realized that my hard drive was nearly full, so i was looking through my folders until i came across the temp folder. Ive tried Disk Cleaner and deleting Software Distribution Downloads to save some space. In the temp folder there are about 60000 files called AppXDeploymentServer, all around 5mbs each. Is that normal?

    :)

    Windows 10 Install Files Turned 128 GB Flash Drive into Only 32 GB!

    I used the Windows 10 upgrade to place the installation files onto my 128 GB Sandisk Cruzer Flash Drive.

    I later just used the regular upgrade via downloading over the internet and my upgrade went fine.

    I went back to my flash drive to delete the Windows 10 off of the flash drive only to discover that my 128 GB flash drive was now hosed down to only 32 GB of storage, even after formatting the drive!

    Does anyone have any suggestions how I might restore the full storage of my flash drive back to 128 GB?

    Thx, in advance,

    Don
