    My laptop is taking a lot of space but I don’t know what is taking said space


    I wanted to update a game of mine but I don’t have enough storage left (after some playing around I went from 9,8GB free space to 16,8GB, so at least that) when I look into the storage overview it says that my apps&features take 174GB, but once I look into the details, the biggest program is Sims 2 with 12,6 GB, followed by Windows software development kit with 2,14 GB. Everything after that doesn’t even manage to take a whole GB of space. So what is taking up all my storage? I haven’t found a way to see what is taking all of it. Does anybody know what I can do?
