Windows 10: PC Reset without savning anything, but still 70gb space used afterwards

Hi Guys. I just bought a used computer Dell Precision 5810. First thing I did was to reset it completely without saving anything, but still 70gb of space is used… I understand 25-30gb to Windows 10 Pro, with also match if I select all files on c drive and check the total size of those! But where is the last 45gb? Is it old files I can delete? Are they hidden? And if so, how do I unhide and delete, if allowed?Hope someone can help me to understand this.

:)

 

Reclaiming space on HDD after resetting game

Hello all,

I was playing Halo Infinites new campaign through the Xbox app with a gamepass subscription. My game crashed, and afterwards, I tried rebooting the game to be only greeted by that awful gaming services bug that brings you to the gaming services page in the Microsoft store. I uninstalled and reinstalled the gaming services a few times to no avail. Turns out it was an issue with Halo Infinite itself rather than gaming services as a whole as I could boot up other games no problem.

I went into Win10 Settings > Apps to go and repair Halo Infinite before going to the uninstall and reinstall method. However, I wasn't paying attention and clicked reset instead of repair. Clicking reset made the game just disappear from the drive. I could not see it in the app's list anymore. However, it never reclaimed the approx 70GB of storage space the game took up. I went to the folder location of where Microsoft games/apps are installed to manually delete, and I can see all my games installed via the Xbox app there besides Halo Infinite. Tried restarting my PC and it didn't show my free space go up 70GB. I know I didn't get my space back because I cannot redownload the game due to insufficient space.

Tried going to storage in Settings to see if it was moved to temporary files or something, and nada.

I am not quite sure how to reclaim this 70GB. Any advice or suggestions?

 

How to factory reset Cisco 1700 Router

Hopefully I can help you here....its a very common thing to happen.


First, I take it you dont know the passwords for console access or telnet/ssh?

I will assume that these devices belong to you.

step 1. Plug a cisco console cable into a serial port on your pc
step 2. Plug other end into Cisco console port
step 3. Using hyperterm or putty or similar connect to the serial port
step 4. boot router, and make sure you clearly can see the output (this confirms you have good serial comms)
step 5. if this fails, adjust the comm port settings (9600, 8,1,n are the default)
step 6. now you have to do the only hard part...send the break command:

Break command list: Break Commands

Go down the list and match your OS and SW and try the sequence suggested.

If this fails several times do what I do: Install putty (free) and then to send a break so you can get into rommom just hit "ctrl-a b".
