    Storage always full


    My dell latitude, windows 10 is full of windows file I can't delete and the os is trying to update itself to windows 11 which it cannot do because it is full but there's nothing I can delete. Why is there so many useless files but can't be delete, why not keep the os and important files aside and sto gilling user memory with useless stuff come onI tried all your the methods in the internet!!! Only clears like 30 mb or less

    Hi George,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.


    • Did you make any changes in BIOS?

    • Are you getting any error message?
    I suggest you to update Storage controller drivers and check if it helps.

    Steps 1:


    • Press Windows key + X.

    • Select Device manager.

    • Expand Storage controller.

    • Right click on the driver and Update the drivers.


    Steps 2: Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue
    is with device. Refer these steps:


    • Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.

    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.

    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel.

    • Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.
