    Low Disk space and no storage

    Hi Katie,

    There are times when your Windows PC will let you know that it's low on disk space to prevent information loss. When your PC doesn't have enough disk space, it will affect the performance of your PC. Please answer these questions so we can isolate the cause
    of your concern:

    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
    • How much disk space is available at this time? Can you provide me a screenshot of the current disk space?
    • What is the current OS Build of your PC? Click the Start button, then type
      winver, and then press Enter to verify this information.

    You can also visit this
    article     on how to free up more drive space to improve the performance of your computer.

    We're looking forward to your reply.

    Low Storage Space

    Hi,



    Thank you for replying.



    Ideally, Manufacturers provide the devices in different hardware configurations. Certain devices are configured to run with a minimum requirements for Windows 10 and the device configuration is basically decided by the manufacturer.



    However, from Windows standpoint, we can suggest you steps where you can optimize the storage space. You can refer the suggestions mentioned in the above response.



    Meanwhile, you can also try reducing the virtual memory and see if that helps. Refer the article How
    to Increase Virtual Memory in Windows 10: A Quick Guide     by Edu Baloja



    In addition, refer the article
    Low Disk Space error due to a full Temp folder



    Let us know how it goes. If the issue persists, we will certainly assist you further.
