  1. Randomly losing storage space when not downloading anything


    Yesterday I had about 14gb free of storage space, today I got a warning that I had no space left. I had 0 space left, not even a single kb. I uninstalled red dead redemption and got 118gb free of storage space and now slowly is going down and im already at 116gb and its been about 5 mins. Not really sure what to do. Help would be appreciated. Thanks,-Tom

  2. Keep on randomly losing space on my C drive

    So recently I cleared up around 30 GB of space on my c drive and which is a lot for me as I had around 9GB before. But I've been noticing that I just randomly lose space without even downloading anything. I would notice it while browsing through my computer and I would see I would lose around 100-500 MB of storage but today when I logged onto my computer I had lost around 10 GB of storage overnight. I haven't downloaded anything and usually don't because my C drive only has only around 128 Gb of storage. if someone could please help me I would appreciate it.

    Windows Manage Storage Spaces

    Dear Windows Team,

    Are there any list of drives which are supported to use manage storage spaces.

    As I have 10x 5TB WD My Passport Drive all drives shows error while creating for pool like the listed drive doesn't support the pool option.

    Then which drives should I use?

    Any suggestions!!!

    BR

    Randomly losing storage space when not downloading anything

    Conflicting information on my Storage Space...

    From disk management, it does report the same storage and used space as from explorer.
    May I ask did you try to create a storage pool or something ? if so, you should not mess with this.

    Is this disk an external disk connected via USB ? WD or Seagate branch ?

    I have the feeling that this disk is formatted with GPT type using 512K emulation so Windows get confused. To verify:


    1. Right click on Disk 6 ->Properties->Volumes. What does it show on partition styles ? GPT ?
    2. Download Best Free Partition Manager for Windows | MiniTool Partition Free, install then run. What does it show on disk 7 ? MBR ?

    If step 1 shows GPT and step 2 shows MBR then definitely the disk was formatted using 512K emulation. The reason they did this so that it would be recognized by WinXP or if you connect it to a TV.

    Windows Updates failed is another problem you have. First, it tried to updates from 1703 -> 1709 and failed so any subsequent updates to 1803 also failed.
