    No storage freed up after uninstalling games

    I have two SSD drives in my laptop and I try to keep on of them just for my OS. I realized that two games over 150GB were installed on my OS drive. I have uninstalled the two games but in the storage settings and the file explorer it doesn't show that any storage was freed up. I am running Windows 11. Any help would be nice - Thanks.

    I deleted a game and my storage didn't get freed up

    Deleted Windows.old, not enough disk space freed


    1. Did you empty the recycle bin ? If not, empty it.
    2. Delete the contents under: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download
      Those are downloaded Windows Updates files and already installed.
    3. Open Admin command, copy and paste the line below then run:
      Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
      This should remove all the no longer used by component store. Will take a while to run.
