Windows 10: Drive full but no files

One of my drives is filling up but there are no files. I have checked Show Hidden, run WinDirStat. Any thoughts/ ideas.




:)

 

Game won't install to D drive but C drive is full. How do I make D drive primary for installing?

It's a desktop game.

I also can't free up space on my C drive since it's pretty small and there are barely any applications on there.

Is this a desktop game or a game being installed from the Store?

If you are installing from the Store, you need to free up space on C:\ before you can move it to the D:\ drive.

Hi and welcome.

Sorry but I cant view your screenshot. Please follow this guide as this forum can host images for you.

 

Try Space Sniffer free, it should tell you what is taking up the space.
It may be the hidden directory System Volume information, (system restore files) or the hidden Recycle Bin.

 

You can try to run this:
Code: vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage /For=C: /On=I: /Maxsize=320MB vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage /For=I: /On=I: /Maxsize=320MB[/quote]

 

If that is the System Reserved, or EFI partition, that is normally hidden with no drive letter. That's normal, just ignore it. If it is one of those partitions, can't view your screen shot so can't tell, removing the drive letter will hide it again and get rid of the RED no space warning.

 

Thanks. That did the trick. It was a bunch of system files (probably system restore points) that seem to have dumped onto that drive when I added the Creators Update. It's weird that drive is just a partition I use to store backups of my music. It's like Windows woke up one morning and decided to start putting stuff on there.

 

If you want, you can adjust the amount of space used for System Restore on your drives. Look at the attached image.
