  1. Trying to free up space


    When i try to cleanup using disk cleanup and delete some files in file explorer and use treesize to view which file is larger to delete some files and using command prompt to flush dns and restart my pc, my disk C drive fills up space. I have to find out why i try to clean my disk C to free up space is filling up space. Is it the cause of virus or storage sense is not working anymore?

    :)

  3. Not enough space even though there is space

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

    We will surely assist you with the issue. Refer the below steps.

    Step 1:

    I suggest you to change the file system to NTFS while formatting and then try copying the files and check.



    Step 2:

      • Take the backup of the data, if you have any important data in it?
      • Let’s format the drive and check.
      • Go to this PC.
      • Right click on the external USB device.
      • Select Format.

    Note: Formatting will delete all the data in the device, taking a backup of the data is recommended before performing a format.

    Keep us posted for further assistance, we will be glad to help.
