  1. Free Space


    I have a 500Gb SSD drive and checking the storage in settings it told me that the drive had 476Gb which I understood of which 367Gb were used and 109Gb were free. Hoping to free up some space and not wanting to delete my pictures or Music, I decided to tidy up my folders and files. I have a folder with all the applications I have downloaded, presently and in the past some of which were not use, these taking up about 8Gb of space so I decided to transfer these to a USB stick. Having done this I then deleted the folder and all its contents and emptied the recycle bin and to my amazement instead of an increase in free space it actually dropped to 102Gb free. I have tried disk clean up etc and now it has dropped to 101Gb free in one day .... WHY?

    Moving Unallocated Disk Space to End of Disk

    Was commenting on the pic in post #21. Not suggesting anything. It just looked like the step you were doing was incomplete.

    disk space reduced after media creation tool

    Hi Sarah,

    One of the possible reasons why your disk space was reduced is due to an unallocated disk space on your partitions. For us to isolate your concern, we suggest that you check your device's partition. To do this, follow the steps provided below:

    • Type Computer Management on Ask me anything and press
      Enter.
    • Select Storage and click on Disk Management.
    • Send us a screenshot.
    We look forward to your response.
