    Way too much storage taken


    I have alot of problems with storage and this is the most weirdest one yet.I have 2 games on my laptop which is Apex Legends 81 GB and Fortnite 55 GB now if I delete both of these games I will have 73 GB of used storage. And the question is... Where did I get all of these 73 GB? I checked files to see if I have that much downloads. No I don't. Maybe it's shadow copies? But I don't know if I should really delete them I'm on Windows 11

    :)

  3. Windows 10 Storage

    Im running out of storage on my laptop. Ive taken steps to clear some room, cc cleaner etc but freed up 2 gb at most. The bulk of my storage is in sytem(needed), apps, or other. When i try and remove some apps and other content it only lists enough to
    maybe cover a gig at most, even though it says there is 50 gb worth. Any way for me to access and remove any of the this? Thanks.

    Windows 10 Home will not boot or restart with USB Storage Spaces pool drives attached

    Hi George,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.


    • Did you make any changes in BIOS?

    • Are you getting any error message?
    I suggest you to update Storage controller drivers and check if it helps.

    Steps 1:


    • Press Windows key + X.

    • Select Device manager.

    • Expand Storage controller.

    • Right click on the driver and Update the drivers.


    Steps 2: Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue
    is with device. Refer these steps:


    • Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.

    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.

    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel.

    • Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.


    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help
