  1. Space Issues


    I have a C: drive dedicated to just the OS and am running out of room. I also have an other drive J: that I am trying to put my overflow programs onto. Both are NVME so performance should not be an issue.Couple of questions:I used O365 Outlook as my viewer for my Gmail accounts and Yahoo. It has created an OST file for each. Can I somehow tell Outlook to store these OST files on the J: drive?There is almost 10GB of files in the Installer folder for Windows. Are these still needed?

    :)

    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.

  4. Space Issues

    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.
