    Storage FULL??? Help!


    My storage on my Surface Pro 4 seems to have all of a sudden become full (237GB).
    I have deleted every program except for Microsoft Office & tools and it is still full!


    I have run the disk tool to optimize, I have run CCleaner, I have run a program from the Microsoft store to look for duplicate files....nothing....any ideas or help would be AWESOME! Doesn't make any sense to all of a sudden be full!

    I saw on another post something about "Windows Image Backup"....how do I look for that, and if found, how can I delete it??

    I have added a 64GB micro SD also.
    Thanks in advance for any help!!

    :)

    A drive just doesn`t become all of a sudden full, you must have done something to take up the space.

    Control Panel>File Explorer Options

    crabhammer - I have looked, and there is no windows back up files.
    AddRAM - I realize that a drive doesn't "all of a sudden" become full, it was just a figure of speech, that it seemed to "all of a sudden" start being a problem....and doesn't change with the deletion of everything I had on it for more than a year, except for Microsoft Office.
    I found what you pointed out, and it is marked to show hidden files.

    Is there anything else I can try to look at??

    Thanks for your help!!*Smile

    Install Treesize free. It will show you where went your space ... Windows has something similar, but not so powerful.

    After install, right click on drive and select Treesize...

    Dig into its folder and find out *Smile Think you have a culprit

    Stop Trend Micro, uninstall it, delete folder and if you want... reinstall again.

    @FinsUp how are things? Can you tell what files were filling up the disk in Trend Micro's folder?

    And, if everything is OK, you can mark thread as solved *Smile
