    Something in my computer keeps taking up more and more space


    Ever since seven days ago, I had 67.3GB free in my SSD drive out of 117GB.Now in the past week something has been drastically using up space, and now I'm only left with 50.8GB.The biggest thing I have downloaded was a film, which I sent to Recycle Bin and permanently deleted everything in Recycle bin a long time ago.The last actual app I downloaded was Minecraft, over 4 months ago. Now, out of nowhere, something has been eating up all my storage on my device.I checked Settings and it said this;Now there's some problems with this.Firstly - I don't remember System using up so much space.

  2. Not enough space even though there is space

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    We will surely assist you with the issue. Refer the below steps.

    Step 1:

    I suggest you to change the file system to NTFS while formatting and then try copying the files and check.



    Step 2:

      • Take the backup of the data, if you have any important data in it?
      • Let’s format the drive and check.
      • Go to this PC.
      • Right click on the external USB device.
      • Select Format.

    Note: Formatting will delete all the data in the device, taking a backup of the data is recommended before performing a format.

    Keep us posted for further assistance, we will be glad to help.

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    System Taking Like All of my space ._.

    Windows File Explorer is not great at finding out where your hard drive space is being used . . .

    • Click HERE to download a small free utility Called TreeSize.
    • Run that utility as Administrator
    • Point it to your C Drive
    • Let the list of files/folders build
    • Expand out the folder(s) that are taking all your hard drive space
    • Please provide a screenshot of the resulting window in order for us to make a better analysis of what is happening with your system and suggest a remedy
