    My storage space is shown full even though I basically have little to nothing on the laptop?


    I should have clsoe to 500GB on my SSD on my laptop. It's showing that I've used over 400 gb. When I open TreeSize it's showing only 121 gb used. I don't understand what's happening. I'm trying to add the screenshot but it won't let me..........

    I have an HP Stream Laptop and I keep running out of storage space

    Hi Jay,

    If a category can't show the folders that it contains, there is a possibility that the folders are somehow hidden. To maximize your PC's storage, follow the suggested steps in these links:


    If further help is needed, let us know.

    The the detail of the storage used shown by the screen Settings\System\Storage\Other does not add to the total.

    The total storage shown is 3.36 GB. The detail list a much smaller amount of storage. I need hard drive space and want to delete whatever is in the 3.36 GB.

    Windows 10 Storage Spaces Improvements?

    Thanks, Jason. It appears then that the November update has not shown up yet for my system. Good to hear that the new commands will be available via the Storage Spaces GUI. Optimizing drives and the Remove drive features were on the top of my wish list
    for Storage Spaces. Patiently waiting for the update.....
