    Gaming Laptop disk space inaccuracy ?


    When I check the amount of storage I have left in my Acer Nitro 5, it shows that I have used up all except 6 gigs. When I went to see the biggest section, the "apps and features" section, it showed that 191 gigs were in it. I went in to see what I could delete, and saw that all the contents of the folder added up to about 80-85 gigs. The bulk of which were 2 games. Why is this? is there a way I have hidden ~110 gigs of stuff? or am I just missing something obvious? plz halp.

    :)

    Low Disk Space error

    Hi,

    I suggest you to delete the unwanted applications or games installed on the device and also perform a Disk Cleanup.

    In order to delete the games or applications, which has been downloaded from the Windows Store you need to right click on the game and select
    Uninstall option from the Start menu.

    If the games that you are downloaded are .exe or the applications which are not downloaded from the Windows Store, you may try deleting it from the Control panel.

    To do so, please follow the below steps.

    • Right Click on Start Menu.
    • Open Control Panel.
    • Click Programs.
    • Click Programs and Features.
    • Click on the programs that you would like to uninstall.
    I suggest you to try the steps in the following article to free up space and check if it helps.

    Low Disk Space error

    I have followed all the steps suggested & the problem is not resolved. How can I do the anniversary update with a USB stick. (I have an SSD laptop with limited space & I have no games installed).
