    cannot gain the lost space after driver update


    hi,

    I updated my NVIDIA display driver. I would loose 1GB of HD space but will gain it back after deleting temporary files via storage under settings. Now, it will not. It happens with the Intel display driver too. Does not happen in previous versions of Windows. Is anyone facing the issue, or just me?

    :)

    Installed Realtek High Definition Audio but lost 1GB of C drive space

    hi there:

    I like to know, when I installed Realtek High Definition Audio driver, the newer one, I lost 1GB of C drive space, not that it is a lot. How can I gain that 1GB of lost space? I remember when I installed the Intel audio driver, I can gain the lost space.
    Where to check where the lost space went?

    CPU drivers LOST IN SPACE

    OK, so I decided to go update the drivers for my processor (after Borderlands said some BS about negative delta time) and both the drivers and the dual-core optimizer have been lost to the paradox in space where files go when they get deleted.

    Sooooo..... if anybody knows where to get them..... Thanks would be in order.

    Lost space of Pen Drive

    Hello,

    Thank you for bringing up your query on Microsoft Community.

    We regret the inconvenience caused to you.


    • Have you tried connecting to a different computer?
    I suggest you to connect the USB flash drive to a different computer and check.

    First back up all the data from your USB drive to another location.

    I suggest you to connect the USB flash drive to a different computer and check.

    Let us try the following steps, and check if it helps.

    Step 1: I suggest you to refresh the drive letter and then try to rescan the drives that are connect to the computer and check.

    To refresh drive letter:

    • Open Computer Management (Local).
    • In the console tree, click Computer Management (Local), click
      Storage, and then click Disk Management.
    • Click Action, and then click Refresh.
    • Once you have refreshed connect the new zip drive and to update hardware information, click Rescan Disks instead.
    Step 2: For unallocated space on USB drive


    • Press the Windows key, and type Diskpart.

    • Click the result to open the DiskPart command prompt window.

    • In the command prompt window, type list disk and hit Enter.

    • The removable USB drive or hard disk will be shown under
      Disk 1.

    • Type in the following commands and hit Enter.
    select disk 1

    Clean

    create partition primary


    • The first command selects your removable USB drive.

    • The Clean command deletes all the current partitions present on the USB drive.

    • The Create primary partition creates a fresh partition and allocates all the unallocated space on this fresh partition.

    • Type Exit to close the command prompt window.

    • Unplug your USB drive and plug it back again.

    Hope it helps.

    Let us know the status, we are glad to assist you further.
