  1. I have a disk space issue. Any ideas?


    The highest I see (when not playing a game and downloading something) is 25 Mbps tops. I don't believe I had this happen in the past, and there's no other programs taking disk space. Back in windows 8 I'm pretty sure I didn't have this issue, and now suddenly I do. Is there something I should change? I've deleted temporary files, stopped windows search in case it was that, also tried disabling windows defender (I have no other antivirus) and that had no effect so I turned it back on, as I expected. And there's an issue, in some games I will get freezing and low fps, and I believe it's also the disk. Is this a possible windows glitch, or is there some setting I should look at? I've tried everything I've seen online about it so far, and have found no fix yet. Edit: I turned off notifications, and now my download is tripling in it's disk usage. Believe I solved the problem, will see once I start playing a game.

    disk space reduced after media creation tool

    Hi Sarah,

    One of the possible reasons why your disk space was reduced is due to an unallocated disk space on your partitions. For us to isolate your concern, we suggest that you check your device's partition. To do this, follow the steps provided below:

    • Type Computer Management on Ask me anything and press
      Enter.
    • Select Storage and click on Disk Management.
    • Send us a screenshot.
    We look forward to your response.

    Low Disk Space error

    Hi,

    I suggest you to delete the unwanted applications or games installed on the device and also perform a Disk Cleanup.

    In order to delete the games or applications, which has been downloaded from the Windows Store you need to right click on the game and select
    Uninstall option from the Start menu.

    If the games that you are downloaded are .exe or the applications which are not downloaded from the Windows Store, you may try deleting it from the Control panel.

    To do so, please follow the below steps.

    • Right Click on Start Menu.
    • Open Control Panel.
    • Click Programs.
    • Click Programs and Features.
    • Click on the programs that you would like to uninstall.
    I suggest you to try the steps in the following article to free up space and check if it helps.
