    Disk shows less free space, than it is taken by large margin!!!


    I use mirekusoft install monitor, for removing residue files, after uninstalling programs. I had no problem so far... But now, i was uninstalling a game. And it deleted whole folder - Games. Instead just one folder, in which game was located. And weirdest thing is: it didn't free any space. I have only 200GB free space on disk, as before. But it shows only 350GB on disk is taken and rest should be free from 953GB. So i am missing 400GB somewhere... I also tried to search for games, to make sure: whole folder wasn't just moved anywhere, even i don't know how... And nada... I even selected all folders and they have only 350GB, yet 758 is taken... Nothing in recycle bin... Why do i have always to get most ridiculous bugs... I guess this program is total garbage, it also uninstalls setups automatically... So this is already for reinstall...... I have backup, but only only clean windows, with couple settings. Because i don't have space, once i install everything, to make a backup... FML...

  2. Apps & Features taking up 100GB of Disk Space

    Hi Microsoft Community,

    I have a Surface Laptop that has 120 GB of disk space, and of late notice that Apps & Features has taken up about 100GB of my disk space. When referring to it through Systems/Storage - it shows that App & Features has taken up 100GB, but in referring to
    the list of apps listed, there's at most 30GB. What's puzzling is there about 70GB that I am not able to find which app is taking up all that disk space. Have done all the disk/system cleanup and the space wouldn't clear.

    Appreciate any advise. Thanks

    disk space reduced after media creation tool

    Hi Sarah,

    One of the possible reasons why your disk space was reduced is due to an unallocated disk space on your partitions. For us to isolate your concern, we suggest that you check your device's partition. To do this, follow the steps provided below:

    • Type Computer Management on Ask me anything and press
      Enter.
    • Select Storage and click on Disk Management.
    • Send us a screenshot.
    We look forward to your response.

    Help! Data partition not showing under my computer

    This is happening on a windows 2000 server. Our second partition of the system, for data is not showing under my computer. Here are the properties of it in disk management:

    Now under logical drives its listed as F and shows free space available.

    Suggestions on how to fix this?
