Windows 10: disk size decreases in a sudden

Hello community, greetings,


I have a question about my disk size which decreases in a sudden, here is the condition and chronology;


Conditions:

- my HDD separated into 3 parts: C system, E, F.

- I noticed my C size is about 30GB left from 194Gb and has blue bar indicator.

- I am aware my E has 8,... GB space left and I installed steam library on E

- disk F has about 30 or more GB space.


chronology:

-so, I am about to update files from steam, which is located on disk E, and then a notification appears on steam says that my disk has not enough space.

-I look into my disk E and realise it is 8 GB left so I try to migrate some files from E to F.

-I pick some files from E and its about 30 GB, then copy them to F.

- apparently, 30 GB are too big for F to receive, the notification says not enough space on F.

- So, I cancel copying when it's about 50% or more.

- when I headed to "this computer" which displays all drives sizes, it says my C only have 2,9 GB left before 30 GB or more.


prevention:

- I have done cleaning cache from CCleaner, disk clean up, and even disk defragment.

- I also conducted "disk checkup", and it says nothing wrong with my disk.

- and I've tried to seek some temporary file and folder inside "USER-username-app-temp no files have large size there.


can anyone help me with this? I don't know whether a steam update or copying files that cause the problem.

I am sorry with my grammar and spelling if there was any mistake,

any suggestions would be helpful.


good day, thank you.

:)

Disk management console view is not up-to-date

i dont know how to fix your disk management, but i can fix your partition problems...




open up Command Prompt with admin rights. (Right click, run as admin)


enter in
DISKPART
list disk

then find the Disk number for your Raid array... lets call it number 7 ( you can tell what disk is what by the total size)
type in

Select Disk 7
List Partition (will give you a list of all the partitions..)
Select Partition 1 (im assuming you only have 1 partition on Disk 7) repeat this step if you have more partitions.
ASSIGN


that should get the array up and running ready to use.


EDITED.

any problems, post back ^^


Still EDITING *Stick Out Tongue

side question, have you tried restarting the PC?
