  1. Local Disk filling up randomly


    Hi, I've noticed that my local disk NVME SSD is randomly filling up. It went from 140gb available to 115gb.
    This happened right after the latest Windows update. Any suggestions?
    I don't really use my SSD to store data or install programs.

    Thanks :

    :)

  2. Recovering Local Disk

    Thank you for your quick response.

    It could be a compatibility issue with the latest update and your local disk. We suggest updating your disk driver. Follow these steps:

    • On the Start, type Device Manager.
    • Locate and select Disk drives.
    • Right-click on your disk drive, select Properties.
    • Go to the Driver tab and choose Update Driver.
    • Once done, click OK.

    Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.

    Local disk keeps filling up

    So my local disk, have been filling up by itself recently, and I've tried to delete stuff, but most of my stuff is on another disk, so there weren't much.

    I deleted a game from my local disk, and then my disk had 51 GB free, but later when i tried to download an image, i couldn't because my disk was full, even though i hadn't installed anything.

    I have tried to use CCleaner, Disk Cleanup and deleted old copies of windows, and nothing works.

    I tried to use, Windows Directory Statistics and it says that the folder 'Users' is taking up 73,2% of the space on my local disk, and that the folders default.migrated and in my actual user folder, there's a folder called '.oracle_jre_usage' that takes
    up all the space??

    Local Disk filling up randomly

    why do 2 Local Disks get isolated?

    This HP has a new SSD. I just now found this and wonder if it is stupids and/or dangerous to try <

    "How to delete EFI partition with Diskpart

    Step 1. Hit "Windows Key + R to open the run dialogue box, enter "diskpart" and click "OK" to open a black command prompt window.
    Step 2. Type "list disk" to display all the disks of your computer. Type "select disk n" to identify which disk you need to work with. Here n stands for the disk letter.
    Step 3. Type "list partition" to display all the volumes on the hard drive. Type "select partition n" to identify which partition you want to remove. Here n stands for the volume letter.
    Step 4. Type "delete partition override" to remove the EFI partition. Finally, type "exit" to close the windows when you receive the message says, DiskPart successfully deleted the selected partition"

    just for a better understanding, but not wanting to complete it, I took these steps >

    so C: should be using 70GB I assume (461- 391)

    Am sure my lack of expert knowledge is showing!
