Windows 10: How does the Storage Sense work?

Hey, just reinstalled my Windows, doing some optimizations. I've activated Storage Sense for like 2p minutes, but I found out it is better to have it disabled. How fast does the Sense start deleting files? I have installed nothing on my PC so far.

Storage Sense Not Working Correctly

Hi there,
I'm having an issue with the Storage Sense feature and can't seem to figure out what might be causing it.
I've prepared a .GIF image, showing what I encounter when I go to, Settings> System> Storage.



If you were able to view the image above.
As you can see, there are no drives showing and I also can't turn this feature on.
I did have it enabled prior to the most recent windows update.



I can't remember the last time I used this feature.
However, it was working in the past, but now it doesn't seem to function like it use to.*cry

Any suggestions on what might be causing this and or how I might go about correcting this issue,
would be greatly appreciated.

If more information is required, please let me know.

Thanks.

 

Storage Sense not working properly

Hi SamSan7,

Corrupted system files is one of the possible reasons why the Storage Sense feature is not working on your Windows 10 computers. For us to assist you better, kindly answer the questions below:

• Have you made any changes to your computer prior to this issue?
• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• Which version and OS build number of Windows 10 is currently installed? To check, press the Windows key, type winver, and press the Enter key.
• Do you have a third-party security software installed?

Meanwhile, I would suggest that you try to run the System File Checker tool and the Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool to scan and correct any issues. System File Checker (SFC) is a built-in tool in the operating system. SFC checks for system
file corruption. Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) is a command-line tool that can be used to service a Windows image or to prepare a Windows Preinstallation Environment image.

Kindly follow the steps in this article posted by ZigZag3143 (MS-MVP)
to perform SFC and DISM:
System file check (SFC) Scan and Repair System Files & DISM to fix things SFC cannot.

We'll be waiting for your reply.

I am happy you made this, it has been on my ToDo list for ages but the real life has been messing with my plans preventing any time consuming hobbies like video making
