    SSD storage keeps filling up on its own

    Hi Ash,

    There's a possibility that the files are just hidden. As an initial troubleshooting, we suggest following the steps below on how to display hidden files that's eating space of your SSD:

    • On the Search bar, type folder, and then select
      Show hidden files and folders from the search results.
    • Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives,
      and then select OK.

    Keep us in the loop with the result.

    Disk storage keeps filling up

    Hello, I have recently used Onedrive to clear space on my PC. All of my photos were uploaded but I've noticed that they keep reappearing and therefore filling up my storage. I have notifications stating that Amazon photos is downloading from Onedrive
    so it seems that as I send the photos into the cloud, they are brought back down again.

    I use onedrive and amazon photos for back up - do the two work against each other?

    How can I keep photos in the cloud and therefore preserve space on my PC?

    Disk storage keeps filling up

    Thank you for your response!

    I've checked and I do have OneDrive set up as you suggest. My problem is that the photos seem to come back onto the PC and so it fills up again. I get a notification stating that Amazon photos is downloading from Onedrive - would Amazon photos do that?
    I can't find anything in either app to suggest it would.

    Any other ideas?
