    Free up storage space


    Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place, but I just wasn't sure where else to put this.

    My laptop has barely any storage space left, and that's because 174 gigabytes of it are being used by apps. The problem is, I don't have many apps with large sizes, I just have tons of apps with little storage usage. I'm finding it very hard to figure out which programs I can delete and which are important. It's all just sort of overwhelming, so I was wondering if there is any quick way to sort this out. I know it's a stretch, but I thought I would try just in case.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Storage Space and Space Pooling in x32Win10ProV20H2

    Thank you very much for your reply.


    You don't show a screenshot, so I am uncertain to which part of the process of creating a storage space you are referring. I pointed you to the tutorials. I now provide you with a screenshot of part of one of them, which shows a warning which might be what you are referring to.

    Your question about double storage / redundancy appears to relate to the normal operation of storage spaces once configured, so seems obscure.

    My impression is that few here have used storage spaces.

    Note too the warning in

    Hi Jay,

    If a category can't show the folders that it contains, there is a possibility that the folders are somehow hidden. To maximize your PC's storage, follow the suggested steps in these links:
