    Storage Problems apps & features


    I have a 238GB drive. Windows settings says I have 187GB in Apps & Features. My drive is now full. I have added nothing to my computer. When I check the Apps through settings, I have 73 apps that add up to maybe a few GB. I have done all the traditional fixes that windows recommends. Something is thinking I have way more storage in this area then I actually do. I ran it by a friend who knows a lot about windows and he was stumped.

    :)

  2. Windows 8.1 phone app problem

    We suggest that you follow these steps:

    • Launch Storage Sense.
    • Select the folder which the app is installed (phone or memory card).
    • Tap Apps+games.
    • Select the app and then uninstall.
    • Re-install the app by going to the Store.

    Let us know how it goes.

    new features 'completed' no details given: sd storage of apps and storage clean up

    For example:

    http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/f...racking_code=da61a0d7fd4a8d3f5764ea2b0e3661b2

    http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/f...racking_code=41f021c2f1ea44753096691f01539f29

    these two topics requesting sd storage for apps and some way to clean up phone storage have been closed as completed. But the copied and pasted template answer doesn't tell us how!!!

    many of us have already searched for an answer and found nothing. There is no way to do what they say they have done for us!!!

    so its seems Microsoft not only ignore their 'support forum' but also 'complete' tasks without doing so just to meet some stats somewhere.

    if Microsoft actually read this my suggestion is a link at least to a 'how to use this new feature' when you close a suggestion.

    in the very least explain what was done to complete these two

    Storage Problem

    Hi,

    It's possible that the 346GB of space that you're seeing under the Apps & games window refers to the available space of the selected drive and not the actual usage. To confirm this information, we suggest that you check the total
    usage through the Storage usage screen instead. To do this, follow the steps below:

    • Click the Start menu or Windows icon.
    • Select the gear icon or Settings.
    • Select System > Storage.
    • Under Choose a drive to see what's taking up space, select
      This PC (Drive letter)
    • Under Apps & games, check if the space usage exceeds the estimate 140GB of space.

    Let us know should you need further assistance.
