    ..I thought this was thing of the past, I'm always going to be next to no space!

    I check updates, I nuke restore point as it happens, CCleaner, just, WHY!

    I made it to 5 gigs remaining, restarted because Firefox was being overwhelmed again, check my C:\ and boom two gigs less

    Samsung SSD 250gig Win10 64-bit any advice would be greatly appreciated =/

    For whatever reason, M$ still does not provide disk monitor nothing no log of what the heck is being put on..

    Suddenly 6.5 gigs is taken up by "reserved space & other content"?

    Recently I tried recording a video on my Samsung Focus. I forgot to stop the recording when I was finished, and went several hours before I remembered I never turned it off. By that time, the phone had died. Ever since then, the phone has been giving me
    low storage warnings and Zune tells me 6.52 gigs are being taken up by "Reserved Space & Other Content." The kicker is the video is nowhere to be found on my phone -- it's like the video was saved somewhere on the phone, but not someplace accessible to me
    through the phone or Zune, so I have this huge video hanging out on my phone and no way to see or delete it.

    I have reserved space set to 0%. Also, Zune tells me "Videos" are only taking up ~125MB.

    Any suggestions on how to find the file? Or maybe there's another reason entirely why 6.52 gigs is being eaten up?

  3. Why did the startup window get cleared?

    I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.
