    Non excistent file taking up storage?


    Im having an issue with an app that I can neither locate nor uninstall. I have tried using multiple utilities, deleting Im everything related, and showing hidden files. If this means anything, the app is trying to uninstall Escape from Tarkov, I installed it from the launcher, but neither does the launcher know where or of the existence of the installation. I need to delete it because it is one of the only apps taking space on my C: drive.The photo linked is the only proof I have of the existence, that, and the space that is being taken up.

    :)

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    Open with - Microsoft WinRT Storage API

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks.

    Can you confirm you tried the following steps before running the DISM command?

    • Right-click on a JPG file and choose Properties.
    • Click "Change"
    • Select "Microsoft WinRT Storage API" from the list.
    If so, the association didn't take effect. We'll have to try a different approach.
