Windows 10: My Disk is Full ?!

Something happened over the weekend that I am not able to explain. My 500 GB disk typically runs around 40+ GB. This morning I tried to scan and save a document and a notice came up explaining it couldn't save because the disk was full. I did a right click on OS C:, then Properties and sure enough, the disk is full. When I added up the bytes of the folders in my system, my documents, pictures, everything I could find, it totaled to 48 GB, yet my 500 GB disk is showing full. I've done a bit of deleting but not enough to make a dent. It even looks as if the number of bytes on the disk has incr

Disk management console view is not up-to-date

i dont know how to fix your disk management, but i can fix your partition problems...




open up Command Prompt with admin rights. (Right click, run as admin)


enter in
DISKPART
list disk

then find the Disk number for your Raid array... lets call it number 7 ( you can tell what disk is what by the total size)
type in

Select Disk 7
List Partition (will give you a list of all the partitions..)
Select Partition 1 (im assuming you only have 1 partition on Disk 7) repeat this step if you have more partitions.
ASSIGN


that should get the array up and running ready to use.


EDITED.

any problems, post back ^^


Still EDITING *Stick Out Tongue

side question, have you tried restarting the PC?

 

diskpart doesn't show disk

Hey,

I am trying to install Win10 on a mac book air.

However the diskpart does not list the disk even after reformatting the partition as NTFS per suggestion.

read through this solution but cannot move to step 1 listed in the solution by Ivan as that disk doesn't see that partition it was just able to reformat.
