Windows 10: My mother's USB shows full storage usage BUT it doesn't show anything.

Avast found a little malware but it's under control, however it doesn't show anything. It's almost 4 Gb of used storage but literally the folders don't appear.

EDIT: I tried compressing to .rar the USB files from outside but when it was at 8% showed an error during the compression. Ideas?

The Phone Storage Usage Is Showing More Space

Hi I'm having Lumia 640 XL . The storage usage of phone is showing pending updates and preview builds of 49.9 MB . Sometimes it shows 6.85 GB used out of 7.28 GB and sometimes it shows 6.70 GB . I have removed some apps from the phone memory and moved
to SD card then also it is showing the same storage of the phone .

Pls suggest what to do . I think there are pending updates worth %) MB but they are still pending . What to do ? Pls suggest .

 

Windows 10 - settings - storage usage - other?

Hi Steve,

It's possible that some folders are not showing under the Storage usage >
Others since they are hidden. Though they are hidden, the space that they are taking will still be counted under
Storage usage > Others. You'll have to identify what files and folder are hidden with the steps below:

• Type hidden in Cortana, the Windows search bar or your task bar.
• Select Show hidden files and folders from the result.
• Go to View tab.
• Enable the Show hidden files, folders, and drives.
• Hit Apply, then click OK.

Once you're done with these steps, try checking the Storage usage again and see if it will match.

Let us know if it addressed your concern.

Thank you.

 

Windows 10 showing USB storage device that does not exist

Again, thank you very much for your reply and trying to help me.

I did exactly as you suggested. Entered registry editor and deleted those 2 entries you listed. After that, i restarted my PC.

Everything is the same, the drive is still showing. It appears on the device manager list as "Generic STORAGE DEVICE USB Device".

Any kind of information you need me to provide, just ask.
