  1. Storage shows 24GB usage from Brother Industries. Can't uninstall


    Trying to clean up some space on my drive, I find that Brother is using 24.1 GB of space. However the options for Modify and Uninstall are grayed out. I once had a Brother printer that we used long ago. I found the related folders, but they were small. Brother does not show in Programs and Features. Tried looking with Revo Uninstaller as well. Searched for Brother with Regedit. No loose change of 24GB floating around.

    How do I find and delete this to make this usable space again?

    Attaching snip of Storage App to show usage.

  2. Windows 10 Memory Leak problem.

    I'm having the same problem and it just started about 2 weeks ago. After a fresh restart, I'm using 3.1Gb of 24Gb. An hour later, I'm up to 8Gb usage. 3-4 hours later, I'm locking up with 24Gb of 24Gb used. I can't leave my computer on for more than
    a few hours without the system slowing/crashing and Task Manager isn't showing me what's using all the memory???

  3. File Showing up in storage usage and control panel, but no where else

    A game that I used to play shows up in Settings under Storage Usage and in control panel as taking up a lot of space, but I can't find the actual files anywhere. When I try to uninstall, the game uninstaller comes up, but gets an error. I have searched
    for the actual files by name, size and date but without luck. I went though the Registry Editor to find the file location and it's listed as being a folder in C:\Program Files (x86), which it's not. I want to uninstall the game if it actually exists, so how
    do I either find the files to delete, or get them to stop showing up on my storage usage if it's not actually on my computer?

    Check for a folder in Programs Files(x86).

  5. Thanks for the response.

    I have checked Programs and Programs (x86). I have also looked at the folder Control Center where scans were stored. Still had a couple of scans there, but nothing the size of a deep space Hubble scan to justify 24GB.

    Why don't you try with something like this: Download TreeSize Free - MajorGeeks to see where those files may be.
