Windows 10: Disk space on PC is wrong

I have a laptop with 221 GB free space, however when i check disk space I only have 48.6 GB left despite barely having ANY apps installed on my computer.The ones I do have are NOT taking up that large amount of space either.I have always struggled with this and it is annoying, as I am unable to download certain things. I have recycled bin, deleted temp files and all that a million times but it does not work. I have also watched countless videos how to free space.

Hi Arpan,

This issue normally happens if something went wrong on the uninstalling process.

We suggest that you perform a Disk Cleanup as your workaround this time.

Please follow the step below:

• Go to File Explorer.
• Click This PC.
• Right click Local Disk.
• Choose Properties.
• Click Disk Cleanup.

We will wait for your response.

Regards.
