Windows 10: Storage Sense only working on OS drive

I have 2 SSD drives connected via SATA cable to the motherboard. Both are detected as internal drives.

On storage sense I activated the option to delete files on the recycle bin that are older than 30 days. Storage sense is only deleting files on the recycle bin of the OS drive and the recycle bin of the other drive stays untouched. I tried changing to 1 day and files on the recycle bin from the secondary drive stay untouched. I tried running storage sense manually and the same problem.

Is this a normal behavior or is it a bug? I've got windows 10 1803 17134.472.

What is Storage Sense? And how would it handle SSDs and/or Hard Drives?

There is a new Windows 10 feature that was added in the Creator's Update. It's called
Storage Sense. It is accessed by going to the Settings UWP app, under the System menu, and in the Storage list item.

I couldn't find any more information about Storage Sense, other than it helps with the data stored on your primary and secondary drives, I think?

So I have a few questions:

• What is Storage Sense and what does it really do? Give an explanation as detailed as possible.
• How would it work on SSDs?
• How would it work on Hard Drives / Disc Platter Storage Medias?
• Is it self-aware the user is on SSDs or on Hard Drives?

Thanks.

 

Storage Sense Not Working Correctly


Hi there,
I'm having an issue with the Storage Sense feature and can't seem to figure out what might be causing it.
I've prepared a .GIF image, showing what I encounter when I go to, Settings> System> Storage.



If you were able to view the image above.
As you can see, there are no drives showing and I also can't turn this feature on.
I did have it enabled prior to the most recent windows update.



I can't remember the last time I used this feature.
However, it was working in the past, but now it doesn't seem to function like it use to.*cry

Any suggestions on what might be causing this and or how I might go about correcting this issue,
would be greatly appreciated.

If more information is required, please let me know.

Thanks.

 

Storage Sense not working on second drive

Thank You for the reply Amit, neither of the two steps changed the status of my problem.

Upon further investigation, I have identified the following issue.

My personal folders (due to the way they were in previous versions) are in the sub folder "users" of the D: drive for example the path to my Music files is "D:\Users\PROFILENAME\Music" and when I drill down in Storage Sense it shows the full volume of Music
files, but also "We couldn't find any folders to show you" (as my post) .

I copied an album to a new folder "D:\PROFILENAME\MUSIC" Then when I drill down, the contents is listed correctly as image below.

This proves that the contents of the user files are counted but not displayed if the user profile is nested in a folder at the root of a drive. This must be a BUG, you comments are appreciated.
