Windows 10: Can't reclaim offline file space on HDD

I can't work out how to reclaim offline file space on my HDDI was using a large amount of space for offline file storage on the diskI now want to use this space for conventional storage. I've tried the following steps:1. I simply disabled offline files and rebooted. However it appeared that the space previously used for the offline files remained reserved by the system. So even though I have 1.5TB of files on a 3.5TB HDD it is showing < 1TB available.2. I re-enabled offline files and tried reducing the space limit. Windows wouldn't let me reduce it beyond the amount of space taken by the of

Reclaiming space on HDD after resetting game

Hello all,

I was playing Halo Infinites new campaign through the Xbox app with a gamepass subscription. My game crashed, and afterwards, I tried rebooting the game to be only greeted by that awful gaming services bug that brings you to the gaming services page in the Microsoft store. I uninstalled and reinstalled the gaming services a few times to no avail. Turns out it was an issue with Halo Infinite itself rather than gaming services as a whole as I could boot up other games no problem.

I went into Win10 Settings > Apps to go and repair Halo Infinite before going to the uninstall and reinstall method. However, I wasn't paying attention and clicked reset instead of repair. Clicking reset made the game just disappear from the drive. I could not see it in the app's list anymore. However, it never reclaimed the approx 70GB of storage space the game took up. I went to the folder location of where Microsoft games/apps are installed to manually delete, and I can see all my games installed via the Xbox app there besides Halo Infinite. Tried restarting my PC and it didn't show my free space go up 70GB. I know I didn't get my space back because I cannot redownload the game due to insufficient space.

Tried going to storage in Settings to see if it was moved to temporary files or something, and nada.

I am not quite sure how to reclaim this 70GB. Any advice or suggestions?

 

Reclaim space on hdd


I need to reclaim some space on the hard drive that my Windows 10 is installed on this pc.

There is a Windows.old.000 folder (13.2 GB)

and a

Windows.old folder (9.09 GB).

Can I still use Disk Cleanup with Windows 10 to do this, and is it ok to do it?
