    Changing spacing in file explorer

    Yesterday I got the new update of Windows 10, and the first thing I noticed is the spacing in file explored changed, now there is a big empty space on the left if you use Tiles layout; here you can see pre-update and post update, in the red rectangle there
    is the additional spacing: Imgur

    How can I remove that spacing and restore the old, no-spacing version? I found just how to change spacing on Desktop, but that's fine - I need a way to change it just in file Explorer with Tiles layout.

    Viewing File Explorer as single spacing instead of double spacing

    File Explorer (the [unnecessary] new name for Windows Explorer in W10) displays files and folders in a double-space format, which means the screen can only show half as many lines as it could if it were single spaced. How do I change it to single space?

    How to change spacing in Windows explorer

    It was renamed to File Explorer beginning in Windows 8.

    If you intended to post images/screenshots they didn't make it. Using Tablet mode in Notebooks/Laptops does change the view of things, pretty much the "nature of the beast" to use a phrase that's been around for a while. Tablet mode also exists on Desktop installations, at least it's on mine with a 21.5" monitor, and can be turned on to give a view similar to always maximized. I could plug in the USB cable to activate the touch screen but I use it on a KVM.

    I always have a bit of trouble with touch screens, even on a Smart Phone, due to the bluntness of my finger tips, could be the reason tablet mode has more spacing to accomodate that. Maybe set to the desktop mode and use a stylus for accuracy? I use a flip phone while my wife uses a Smart Phone and she does fine.
