Windows 10: My Storage fills up faster than what its downloading at

So yes currently I do need to upgrade my disc drive to a much bigger one to run now days games. Recently I had undownloaded many files and other games which left me with around 52GB of extra space.

The download says it is just under 39GB of space so i should have enough. I then proceed to download and goto bed. I wake up showing that my disc drive was full. I check the C drive and sure enough it has under 30MB left of space. I restart the compute

Disk storage keeps filling up

Thank you for your response!

I've checked and I do have OneDrive set up as you suggest. My problem is that the photos seem to come back onto the PC and so it fills up again. I get a notification stating that Amazon photos is downloading from Onedrive - would Amazon photos do that?
I can't find anything in either app to suggest it would.

Any other ideas?

 

Downloading is Slow from Store.

Hi Mihir,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

From the description, I understand that Windows store downloads slowly.

Step 1:

I suggest you to clear Windows Store cache and check if it helps.

Follow the steps below:

• Press Windows logo key + R.
• Type wsreset.exe on Run window and press enter.
• Check if issue persists.

You may try the following steps and check:



Step 2:

Try to run the sfc scan and check if the Windows store downloads faster:

Run a System File Checker (SFC) scan to check for any file corruption.
SFC scan will scan for corrupt system files on the computer and repair them.

• Press Windows key + X, click
  Command Prompt (Admin).
• In the Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
  
  sfc /scannow

Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of the proposed suggestion, we’ll be glad to assist you.
