  1. My apps dont take as much space as it shows in storage at apps and features


    The space that is says they are taking 40GB my apps that are downloaded take only 8GB i dont know what are the rest of the files or apps that are taking this space, cause its only feature is to look at apps and features and they only show that part of 8Gb memory of apps installed, and please dont recommend me to do a disk cleane up cause i tried it and the only storage i was able to clean was like 30 MB and the responese on similar question was to do that.I want to be able to see what is taking this memory and delete those unnesesery to me.

    :)

    Apps & features disc space doesn't add up to storage use listed

    Under "Settings," and "Storage," my OS_Install (CMy apps dont take as much space as it shows in storage at apps and features :) total size is 238 GB.

    Under "This is how your storage is used and how you can free up space," it says...

    Apps & features....98.8 GB

    Yet even a cursory total of all programs listed (by size) under Apps & features reveals a total of about 1.5 GB.

    And, a bunch of programs are listed at the bottom (including at least one that needs a lot of storage space) without *any* numbers.

    Should I presume that the Settings -> Storage utility is incapable of listing ALL programs and all of the space they require?

    Why the massive difference (98.8 GB vs 1.5 GB)?

  3. Apps & Features taking up 100GB of Disk Space

    Hi Microsoft Community,

    I have a Surface Laptop that has 120 GB of disk space, and of late notice that Apps & Features has taken up about 100GB of my disk space. When referring to it through Systems/Storage - it shows that App & Features has taken up 100GB, but in referring to
    the list of apps listed, there's at most 30GB. What's puzzling is there about 70GB that I am not able to find which app is taking up all that disk space. Have done all the disk/system cleanup and the space wouldn't clear.

    Appreciate any advise. Thanks

    STORAGE , APPS & FEATURES

    Hi,

    upon going to system settings and seeing the storage i can see that the apps & features is occupying 160 GB

    but upon clicking on it , it hardly show me 4 GB worth of information approx.

    i am not sure what apps & features is taking up so much space and no details are being shown.

    i have checked both in control panel and the settings app.

    i am currently on WIN10.
