    My disk c: apear at red

    Hi Anibal

    If your C drive is appearing as red in Windows File Explorer, it is full and you need to create space on that drive for Windows to function correctly, Windows does not work well when your hard drive is full . . .

    Run Disk Cleanup twice as explained below:

    Open File Explorer

    Click on your hard drive

    On the Manage Tab, click Cleanup

    Let Disk Cleanup do its initial scan

    Select Everything in the list and choose Delete

    Start Disk Cleanup again

    Let Disk Cleanup do its initial scan

    This time in the resulting dialog, click 'Cleanup System Files'

    Let Disk Cleanup run another scan

    Select Everything in the list and choose Delete

  3. Local Disk C filled up and red while not being filled actually.

    I had plenty of space in my Local Disk C folder, all of sudden the "apps and features" started showing 161GBs filled up space while it clearly is hardly 20GBs. It keeps filling up no matter how much I delete. Please suggest a solution.

    I tried emptying all temporary files etc. But it keeps showing it as red.

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink storage window c in red how do i free up space I did deleted files its still in red ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
