    Excessive 400 GB Disk Usage by Windows 10 Programs and Apps & Features


    My HD is being consumed by Apps & features, it is using 410 GB out of 476 GB total, I might only have 40 GB worth of applications,


    I've read the space is used by hidden files recovery & shadow copies, I have tried Disk Cleanup with the more option/System Restore and Shadow Copies tab/option, Storage sense, and a couple of tools, all of them only delete a minimal portion of useless files, but never take care of the issue, the space shrunk from 13 GB yesterday to 6 GB this morning,


    So I have done the following to summarize ran as administrator as well:

    *Run Disk cleanup with more options

    *Storage sense/Free up space now always cleans 976 KB :

    *Smart Disk cleanup

    *I have run virus scan several times, no virus detected by the way

    :)

    Unfortunately that is not the answer, I had clicked on that before your reply, the list only accounts for about 30 GB when you add up all the sizes listed, this is a bigger problem than what I have tried, thanks for your reply, but hopefully someone out
    there has the answer to this issue
