    Trying to free up space. As you can see under the temporary files there is lots of gigabytes but I don't know how to get rid of them. I have Windows 10 installed and it's up to date. Waiting for the other temporary files to load and deleting them does not get rid of it. Clicking update settings shows no updates or any other sort of resolution. How to get rid of 15.6 gigabytes?

    :)

    Storage Space and Space Pooling in x32Win10ProV20H2

    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.

    Note too the warning in

    Storage Spaces Disappears After Replacing Boot Drive

    Did you check Windows View update history list to see if KB4568831 has already been installed? I would think it has and that is why you got the message you did.

    If you have not run the Storage Spaces troubleshooter there are instructions in the other link on do it manually. What is accomplished in either case is that your storage spaces will be set to read only which will allow you to have access to the data on your storage space drive.

    The latter manual steps return the Storage Spaces drive to read/write and run optimization, defrag, and integrity routines. If your install is up to date then you should find the cumulative update KB4568831 installed in history. If you have upgraded to 20H2 then the patch discussed elsewhere to address the issue with Storage Spaces showing as RAW is rolled into the upgrade. In either case the manual optimization, defrag, and integrity routines can be run.
