Windows 10: Should my system & reserved storage be 58GB?

How do I fix it if its not meant to take up that much space.

Disable Reserved Storage

Hi AveryMillis1

are you sure that the reserved storage feature is enabled?

is this a new machine? or have you clean installed windows 10 1003 or later?

check in settings -> system -> storage

click on show more categories

click on system & reserved

is reserved storage in the list?

check settings -> system -> about

under windows specifications

what version is installed?

 

Disable Reserved Storage

that is strange, reserved storage was introduced with version 1903 and switched on by default in a clean install (sorry about the typo earlier)

and should not be showing at all in 1809

how much space does it say is reserved, could you post a screenshot of the system & reserved list

 

Disable Reserved Storage

that is system reserved, the disk space taken by windows and is not the reserved storage feature.

although that does seem more than a little high, i suggest you run a clean up including system files

click start, type disk clean-up

select c: drive and click ok

click the clean up system files button

select c: drive and click ok

i would suggest selecting everything but you may want to check through the list

click OK

your version is also over a year old, i would suggest upgrading to 1909

use Andre Da Costa's illustrated guide to perform a repair upgrade.
