    It says storage space is full in file explorer but not in settings.


    When I go into file explorer on my computer and try to paste files from an SD Card Reader it says "error" and "Storage 99% full - get more". However, when I go into settings on my computer and go to storage settings, it says "Windows C:224 GB" and underneath that it says 148 GB used and 71.4 GB free. Can someone please tell me why and how to fix it? Thanks!!

    :)

    Does anyone know why there is a discrepancy on what is being reported as the available space in storage spaces?

    Even WinDirStat does not say its full.

    Storage Space

    Surface Pro 3 storage space is low. Storage settings say that Apps and Games is using 17.5 GB but when I add up the space from the list of apps it is only 5.7 GB. What is taking up up the other ~12 GB and how do I free up space?

    Cannot access Storage Space

    I've created a problem with Storage Spaces by changing the drive letter in Windows 10. This has caused a Storage Spaces error, and I can no longer see the Storage space in File Explorer.

    Disk Management shows the drive as unallocated.

    I now have the following situation. The 2 drives in the storage space are the ones shown as 931.5GB (or Disk 4 in the Management image). (it was originally set up as 10Tb but only 2 x 2tb physical disks initially)
