Windows 10: Need help about the large file sizes of games on the Microsoft Store.

The Microsoft store version of Fallout: New Vegas is nearly 47 GB big, which I've heard is because the store version installs multiple versions of the same game in different languages. Is it possible to delete the other language versions and keep just the English one? I'd rather not have this much wasted space on my computer.

Windows 10 Scan App - PDF File Sizes Too Large

Hi Teja,

There are several reasons why the scanned file as PDF gets too large. Here are the most common causes:

• Dot Per Inch (DPI) - Most scanners will use 300 DPI for scanning images, which is the minimum DPI for the images that were printed after scanning. However, 72 DPI should be already enough for a PDF that is for screen reading.
• Saving the document as colored - Use black and white instead of color when scanning images to lessen file size. Make sure that any color settings such as
  Color Depth are also decreased.

If the suggestions have been tried but the PDF file size is still too large, the next option is to check the PDF software that is performing the conversion itself.

Let us know if you were able to lessen the PDF file sizes using the suggestions above or if you need further assistance.

 

Stored files in Hard Drive

You can use Windows search. Just search for *.* on a desired drive. When list is done just arrange them by size LOL.

You can do it via command line as well and make an output text file showing files and their sizes (but without arrangement)
