Windows 10: How can I get more storage space on my Windows 10 laptop?

I have both a desktop and laptop. I was able to get Windows 11 on my desktopwith no problem, though it does have a few features I'm not used to yet. But the main problem is my laptop. It's an HP, and I'm still using Windows 10.However, I'm almost out of storage space and I don't get it. I try to clear unwanted files, etc. from it, but it doesn't do a thing. Is this normal? Is there anything I cando to get more space on it? I really don't have a clue.

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:

How to remove a bad drive in Windows 10 storage spaces pool

Could someone list the steps involved in replacing a bad drive from a Windows 10 storage spaces pool? I cannot find any info on the Microsoft support site that is specific to Windows 10. Also, could you list the steps to remove a 'good' drive and replace
it with another drive if the process is different?

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.
