Windows 10: Storage shows 850 GB being used, but it's not

So my disc space has been in the red for a long time and I finally got around to cleaning out my files to clear some space. I have 928 GB total, and 848 being used. I only got this computer less than a year ago, and mainly use it for gaming. When I looked at my storage, it said that 770 GB are being used in Installed Apps, but when opening the section, my largest file is 21.6 GB. All of my other apps are in MB. Based on this I should only have about 30ish GB of space used in Games and Apps plus another few from other files, how did I lose 800 entire GB of space?? I've gone through and delete

:)

Not bad, but still way overpriced. IMO, SSDs won't make good consumer data storage until they are in the $0.25/GB range.

 

Clone Boot disk ( Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250 GB) to Samsung 970 EVO PLUS







To clarify, this is the present BIOS. The Storage Boot Option Control is "Legacy", and the system boots from the Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250 GB fine.




Above is what presently shows up when I load Macrium.

If I understand you correctly, use Macrium to clone the entirety of Disk 4 (SSD 850) to Disk 5 (970 EVO). Set DISK 5 as the Z:\ drive. The clone from DISK 4 to DISK 5 should wipe the prior data during the clone.

Then when I reboot, set the boot order to DISK 5 or Z:\ (970 EVO).

Last two questions:
When in the BIOS during reboot, should the STORAGE BOOT OPTION CONTROL be set to UEFI?

Do I skip or follow the last step:
Code:
reagentc /enable <- this will re-enable the Windows Recovery Environment but it will not be in a recovery partition, it will stay on the new C: drive
reagentc /info <- this will show you where the Windows Recovery Environment is

Thank you so much NavyLCDR!!!
