    Unusual Option for Removal of Temporary Files for System/Setting/Storage/This PC/Temporary Files

    Hello,

    I have Windows 10 version 1803 on HP Spectre x360 laptop with a SSD drive, 232 GB.

    I have 170 GB of free space. There are no saved documents, pictures or videos.

    I have only installed apps and software installed when I purchased the laptop.

    My question is:

    When I go to Windows Setting, select System, select Storage, select Local Storage/This PC, Storage Usage displays, select Temporary Files showing 423 MB from the selections offered.

    Upon selection for Temporary Files, it opens - shows listings for the Remove Temporary Files.

    Two particular selections/options to remove files concern me.

    These are:

    Deletes all system restore points - 4.28 GB

    Compress your OD drive - 13.7 GB

    These two are not checked for removal, rather they are highlighted in White.

    Why are these particular two items are being displayed?

    Will these eventually disappear or remain forever?

    Any suggestions, recommendations or advice to these questions would be greatly appreciated.

    Relocating System Storage Folders


    I'm currently running an SSD drive for my operating system. It's only 120 GB and what to do is move the storage folders (ie, My Music, My Videos, My Documents, etc etc etc) to another drive to reduce strain on the SSD Drive. As we all know SSD Drives can be fickle, but so far, it's run flawlessly. I'd like to keep it that way. Plus it's going to fail eventually, and it's a lot easier just to reinstall the operating system then to hope backup files didn't aren't corrupt or missing.

    I know this an incredibly easy question, but it's been so long since I've messed this area of files, I just want to make sure I get it right the 1st time and Windows 10 is going to recognize where these folders were moved to. A step by step would be appreciated.

    I have 335g Gb of systems files which take up lots of storage how can I make them less

    Windows 10 System files occupying 130 GB

    Good morning,

    I have Windows 10 installed in a SSD partition with 225 Gb. I have recently found out that 130 Gb are occupied by System and Reserved, of which 118 Gb are occupied by file systems only. I already cleaned my laptop with both Storage Sense and Disk Cleanup.
    I don't have a Windows.old folder.

    Can anyone suggest how to free up space in my SSD? I understand that Windows 10 can work properly with only half of that space, so I do not get why it eats so much of it.

    Thank you for your help.

    Sofia.
