Windows 10: Need help with storage space

Having issues with the system storage space. Have tried deleting everything in downloads, all apps that are non essential and having everything work related put to offline. Storage used is not changing however. It says I have over 150 GB in Installed Apps but I am not sure where that number comes from because when I open it, the amount of apps does not add up to 150 GB.

There are several tutorials on Storage Spaces. This one covers adding drives: How to Add Disks to Storage Pool for Storage Spaces in Windows 10 See if it helps at all. More are listed below the main text, or see the Tutorial section. I've not used Storage Spaces personally, and it seems few actually do. You might find the discussion here of interest: Change Storage Space in Storage Pool in Windows 10 As for viewing available free space, see the first screenshot here and see if that helps: Working with Windows 10 Storage Spaces - dummies

Thank you very much for your reply.


You don't show a screenshot, so I am uncertain to which part of the process of creating a storage space you are referring. I pointed you to the tutorials. I now provide you with a screenshot of part of one of them, which shows a warning which might be what you are referring to.





Your question about double storage / redundancy appears to relate to the normal operation of storage spaces once configured, so seems obscure.

My impression is that few here have used storage spaces.
