  1. Uninstalling has made my disk space significantly smaller and shrink


    Just uninstalled God of War around 60gb and my disk space was reduced from 33gb to 16gb, and it is shrinking at an incredibly fast rate. I've tried uninstalling things like MSIXVC, but it immediately reinstalled itself after booting normally. I've emptied the recycle bin aswell, but nothing seems to work.

    SHRINK C VOLUME TO SMALLER CAPACITY

    It should allow you to change the size to smaller ..unless...How much space is your windows occupying ...perhaps you've got a lot of files...

    There is a good tool which I just recently used to shrink and expand my disk drives but I have eight of them...Mini Tool Partition Wizard

    If that does not shrink any further than that's all we can do...there must be an internal reason.*john

    Hi.

    I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if that helps.

    Run Disk Management. Open Run Command (Windows button +R) a dialog box will open and type "diskmgmt.msc".

    In the Disk Management screen, just right-click on the partition that you want to shrink, and select “Extend Volume” from the menu.

    Locate your system partition — that’s probably the C: partition. Right-click on it and select “Shrink Volume.” If you have multiple partitions on your hard drive, you could also choose to resize a different partition to free up space.

    Hope the information helps.

    hard disk space

    Hello,

    Taking into consideration that the free space is shrinking fast, it is possible that your system is creating restore points. To
    delete restore points except for the recent one, simply follow the steps below:

    • From the Cortana search box, type Disk Cleanup and click on the first result.
    • Once the Disk Cleanup window appears, select the
      More Options
      tab.
    • Under the System Restore and Shadow Copies column, click on the
      Clean up... button.

    Once done with the steps, see if your disk space has expanded.

    If you have further questions, please let us know.
