• Type in Disk Cleanup on Search bar, and open it.
• On the pop-up window, you will Files to delete. You can select files that you want to remove to free up space.

back up files to free up space

Hi JMSab,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. How much free space does the customer have on C:\ Drive?
2. What is the complete error message about Xbox?
3. Do the other partitions still have free space?

If you are running low disk space, you can use tools built into Windows 10 to clean up junk files, apps, and games you never use to optimize the space you already have, I suggest you to follow the article on
