Windows 10: Can I reserve more storage for apps on Windows 11?

I have 188 gigabytes for apps, 188 gigabytes for documents and 188 gigabytes for temporary files on my Windows 11 gaming laptop. I want more space reserved for apps and less reserved for documents and temporary files. Is there a way to configure this?

Disable Reserved Storage

Hi AveryMillis1

are you sure that the reserved storage feature is enabled?

is this a new machine? or have you clean installed windows 10 1003 or later?

check in settings -> system -> storage

click on show more categories

click on system & reserved

is reserved storage in the list?

check settings -> system -> about

under windows specifications

what version is installed?

 

Disable Reserved Storage

that is system reserved, the disk space taken by windows and is not the reserved storage feature.

although that does seem more than a little high, i suggest you run a clean up including system files

click start, type disk clean-up

select c: drive and click ok

click the clean up system files button

select c: drive and click ok

i would suggest selecting everything but you may want to check through the list

click OK

your version is also over a year old, i would suggest upgrading to 1909

use Andre Da Costa's illustrated guide to perform a repair upgrade.

Disable Reserved Storage

that is strange, reserved storage was introduced with version 1903 and switched on by default in a clean install (sorry about the typo earlier)

and should not be showing at all in 1809

how much space does it say is reserved, could you post a screenshot of the system & reserved list
