    Weird Discrepancies in Backup Disk Space?


    So basically on my C: Drive Windows is taking up about 60GB of space.

    The disk image I created on my internal HDD is 90GB and the one I just created on my new external HDD is 40GB.

    Anyone got any idea what that's all about?

    :)

    disk space reduced after media creation tool

    Hi Sarah,

    One of the possible reasons why your disk space was reduced is due to an unallocated disk space on your partitions. For us to isolate your concern, we suggest that you check your device's partition. To do this, follow the steps provided below:

    • Type Computer Management on Ask me anything and press
      Enter.
    • Select Storage and click on Disk Management.
    • Send us a screenshot.
    We look forward to your response.
