Windows 10: over half of my storage is taken up on brand new computer

I just recently got a dell G15 gaming laptop with 430gb of storage on C: drive. I have only a few things installed such as steam and wow. I have uninstalled basically any program that I won't use that was preinstalled and have done a file clean up, following it with a system file clean up, which only gave up 5 gb, but when I checked the gb went up then immediately fell back to 183gb. I Checked the cbs file and I don't know what counts as huge. Memory: 16 GBProcessor: 12th Gen IntelR CoreTM i7-12700H[Cores 14] [Logical processors 20]Operating System: Microsoft Windows 11 Home

Hi Ginafeletar,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community. I regret the inconvenience caused to you. Let me help you.

• 
  Is it OEM copy of Windows 10?
  

I suggest you to download and install the latest audio drivers from your computer manufacturer website and check if it helps.



As you are mentioning it is a brand new computer, I suggest you to check with the computer manufacturer customer support and check if it helps.



Please keep us posted on the issue. We will be happy to assist you accordingly.

Thank you.

 

New PC with Windows 10 - SSD shows as half full

The computer is new (as stated in the thread) with 500gb SSD. It is what I purchased and what is displayed both on the box and in the total space displayed in Windows.

Out of it, around 200 is taken, but all the available files take only 30gb.

Steps I’ve taken so far:

- checked the hybernate files and page files (not the culprits)

- checked the storage usage with third party tool: showed only 30mb of used storage

- checked disk manager: shows that partition C is using 200gb of space

Nothing shows why or how that space is “taken”.
