    Freeing Space in this Small Drive


    Hi!

    I've got 1.45GB free of 28.6GB in my computer. How do I free up space (like 6GB more) so I can install a program?

    I tried to find programs that take up additional spaces but I couldn't find any. Is Windows 10 occupying most of the 28.6GB of this computer?

    What can I do to have that extra 6GB of free space here?

    :)
