    what is using up my space?


    Today, I realized that there had been something unknown using up over 20gb of space in my c: drive. As shown in the pictures provided, The properties of my c: drive shows that 105gb is being utilized. However, Upon inspecting all the files in the drive, it seems only 77/79 gb should be utilized. So what is using up the extra 20+gb of space?? <images cant be uploaded due it some unknown error so i would appreciate if i was proved an alternative to send you the needed pictures>

    :)

    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.
