Windows 10: Hard disk space is used up by windows 11

I bought LG laptop which came with windows 11. Now after few months I see the Hard disk is full. I have 500 GB Disk. I spoke to LG and they said this is a bug in Windows 11 and should wait for windows patch. I did all the cleanup steps to free the memory and the only option was told is to do Factory reset. This is not a good solution as I have to keep backing up my data again and again..Did any one face this issue?What is the solution to fix this issue.Any help is appreciated.Rajiv.

hard disk space

Hello,

Taking into consideration that the free space is shrinking fast, it is possible that your system is creating restore points. To
delete restore points except for the recent one, simply follow the steps below:

• From the Cortana search box, type Disk Cleanup and click on the first result.
• Once the Disk Cleanup window appears, select the
  More Options tab.
• Under the System Restore and Shadow Copies column, click on the
  Clean up... button.

Once done with the steps, see if your disk space has expanded.

If you have further questions, please let us know.

 

Hard disk space

The first and most obvious reason you don’t have access to all your hard drive space is that there’s a significant piece of software installed on it already: your operating system. Unless you specifically selected a “no OS” model, it will come pre-installed
with something.

Another place your hard drive space might have gone is to a manufacturer-created disk partitions. In years past, a new computer commonly came with one (or a whole book full of) CDs containing software, including a recovery disk. In the event of a total meltdown
of your machine, you could boot from this drive and restore your computer to an right-out-of-the-box state.

Other possible reasons including hidden partitions, unpartitioned hard disk space, system protection takes up much space and many others. check out

this tutorial to see how to solve it step by step.

Hope it is helpful.
