    disk space reduced after media creation tool

    Hi Sarah,

    One of the possible reasons why your disk space was reduced is due to an unallocated disk space on your partitions. For us to isolate your concern, we suggest that you check your device's partition. To do this, follow the steps provided below:

    • Type Computer Management on Ask me anything and press
      Enter.
    • Select Storage and click on Disk Management.
    • Send us a screenshot.
    We look forward to your response.

  3. Storage space reduced after upgrading iBall i701 from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10.

    Hi Rajender,



    The above issue might occur if the files from external storage is moved to internal storage space on the mobile device.



    Before we assist further, I would like to ask you a few questions:

    • Are you using external memory card on the mobile device?
    • Did you check if the data from external storage space is moved to internal storage space on the mobile?


    Check if data storage option is changed in the mobile settings. If changed, revert the changes and check if the issue is resolved. If not, check if data from external storage is moved to internal storage space on the mobile device.
    If moved, revert the data to external storage and check if the issue is resolved.



    Also delete any unwanted/unused data saved on the mobile device.



    Write to us with the status of internal space reduced to 2.4GB after upgrading to Windows 10 on iBall i701 in the same post for further assistance. Your reply is most important for us to ensure we assist you accordingly.



    Thank you.

    Problem with Storage Space


    Funny...on actually reading the title on that unrecognized status disk, it is titled Microsoft Storage Space. I was ust surprised to see it listed in the drive list.
