Windows 10: D: drive is filling up on its own - cannot find the files that are taking up space!

The "Other" section of my D: drive has 1.56TB worth of stuff in it; I then click within the folder and it only shows me like 3GB worth of things? Where is all the other storage coming from? My D: drive is filling up on its own

Please help

C drive filling up and D drive not being used.

I have just got this new computer which has 2tb built in my problem is that the computer has 2 separate drives (C and D) C is filling up which only has 149GB of space which now only has 29GB left where as my D drive has 1.65tb available which it does not
want to use. My question is how do it get it to use the 1.65tb rather than the 29gb left on the C drive. Also i no people usually say copy everything of my documents but the problem is theirs nothing in there as its my program files taking all the space (sims).

Thank you for the help its really appreciated.

SSD windows C: keep eating up space on its own

Hello, i just bought a laptop yesterday with windows 10 installed.

Recently, i downloaded steam gaming app on the windows C: solid state drive.

The space of my windows C: ssd is 118 gb. After downloading and

installing the steam app it took quite a lot of space in my C: drive

then i decided to remove it to data D: .

I cut and pasted all the steam folders to D:

it could not transfer all the file to data D: because of certain problems,

so i pressed the skip button.

After transfering all the steam files to data D:, the steam app and the

games could not be opened because some of the files were untransferable

during the transfer process.

Then i decided to uninstall all the steam and games on the control panel/

program/programs and features.

after uninstalling, i dowloaded back all the games.

After reinstalling all steam and games on my D: drive, i found out that

my windows C: ssd keep filling up space with no reason. i have tried the disk

clean up several times but it does not work and the space keep filling up.

I do not know much about computer systems and programs.

Can anyone please help me solve this problem because i may not be able

to install anymore software on the ssd windows C: when its all filled up.

 

SSD storage keeps filling up on its own

Hi Ash,

There's a possibility that the files are just hidden. As an initial troubleshooting, we suggest following the steps below on how to display hidden files that's eating space of your SSD:

• On the Search bar, type folder, and then select
  Show hidden files and folders from the search results.
• Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives,
  and then select OK.

Keep us in the loop with the result.
