    Storage - Other Users

    I have 650 GB of storage listed as Other Users. What is this and how do I find out what is in this storage area? I am the only user on my laptop running Windows 10.

    "Other People" category taking up storage space

    I have done that before and freed up a little space. If I do that now, I will gain 142MB of disk space.....my issue is the 61.3 GB occupied by "other people". I'm looking specifically for what is taking up that space listed under "other people"

    “Other people” taking up storage but there’s no other user on this computer

    Windows 10 - Hard Disk Storage - Other People

    I have 32 bit Windows 10 Home build 1607 installed on Intel stick computer. Under PC Settings/System/Storage/This PC (C“Other people” taking up storage but there’s no other user on this computer :):21.4 Gb used out of 28.4 Gb/Storage Usage/Other People:1.65 Gb. I do not need this and want to either eliminate it or at least minimize
    it.

    I cannot find a way to do this.

    I have a desk top computer with the same version of Windows 10. The storage space listed for Other People is 8 Kb. Lucky it!

    Can someone show me how to modify the 1.65 Gb to 8 Kb?

    Thanks in advance
