Windows 10: System & reserved taking up over 100GB of space

My computer was warning me about having limited space left, so I checked what was taking up space on my PC and saw this





I saw somebody recommend TreeSize to look into what was taking up space and saw this





The installer folder and srudb.dat are taking up >80gb all by themselves which can't be normal at all. Is there any way to fix this?

Need to move/fix location of System Reserved partition

Lothar,

You will do multiple steps with Partition Wizard Free:

1. Shrink C: drive partition by 100 gb with the 100gb free at the end of it.
2. "Resize/move" system reserved partition by removing all the free space in front of it (which should be 100gb after step 1), add the same free space to the end of it.
3. Expand the F: drive partition into the 100gb free space which should now be at the front of it after step 2.

 

windows 10 system and reserve taking up too much space

Hi,



Windows Restore Points does eat up tremendous amount of your disk space and clearing it would indeed help free up some space. Aside from restore points, there are other invisible factors that can eat away your hard drive space like temporary and cached files.
For us to better understand why you keep on getting error messages about your storage space being full, we would like to ask the following questions:

• When did you first encounter the issue?
• Which Windows version and build is you device running? Type winver on the search bar, and then press
  Enter to find out.
• What specific error message or error code did you get?
• Could you repost the screenshots again?

In the meantime, we suggest you check the steps provided by Greg Carmack on this

thread about clearing system and reserve after an upgrade and see if it helps.



We look forward to your response.
