    Line spacing in File Explorer List View

    It seems like something changed in the past day or two to add line spacing when in List View in Explorer. Not sure if it's quite double-spacing, but there definitely is more vertical space between items now.

    Any idea how to reset that to the previous single-spacing?

    Here's what I see now:

    Changing spacing in file explorer

    Yesterday I got the new update of Windows 10, and the first thing I noticed is the spacing in file explored changed, now there is a big empty space on the left if you use Tiles layout; here you can see pre-update and post update, in the red rectangle there
    is the additional spacing: imgur.com

    How can I remove that spacing and restore the old, no-spacing version? I found just how to change spacing on Desktop, but that's fine - I need a way to change it just in file Explorer with Tiles layout.

    File Explorer Thumbnail Preview Spacing

    @Steve c Hi, I looked at that, but it doesn't seem to be for file explorer... could you post a screenshot of what you're suggesting please? Perhaps you have a later version..

    It does actually change the spacing between icons for both the desktop and thumbnail views of a folder.
