Windows 10: Why can't I see the memory space label of my External Hardrive?

It also happens to my other USB!

:)

 

Windows 10 update wizard

Knowing I don't have enough memory, and cannot eliminate any more, I would like to use an external hard drive with 1 TB available. However, the wizard does not recognize it and won't proceed until I free up memory. Does anyone know why the installation
does not see my external space and offer it as an option for installation?

 

n81 - phone memory depleting

I do have Y-manager on my phone, and as far as I understand the C: drive is the phone memory (?). So i have looked through each of these folders and many (not all) say "no data" or something similar. This is another reason why I don't understand where
my phone memory has been allocated.

Another funny thing though - when my phone was saving messages, the default was to save to phone. At some point in the last week (I can't remember when) I changed this setting to have the messages stored to the memory card. All messages saved/recieved prior
to this point are visible when I look at messages on both the phone and the external memory. However, all messages saved after this point have only been saved to the external memory card (I can't work out why). Anyway, I did delete all messages (sent/saved/recieved
etc) that were saved on my phone memory and that freed up some space on the phone memory (about 1MB).

 

Welcome to our forum.

I'm don't understand (memory space label on a hard drive) Their is no such thing.

I'm thinking you are looking for how much space on you drive is use and how much space you have left to use.

Is that correct?

If it is correct, just right tick on the drive and then tick on properties. It will show you space used and space not used.
The red indicates your drive is almost full or full.

Hey CholoBoiii,
I think that has to do with the external drive label (Seagate Backup Plus Drive) and it's pushing it out of view.

 

Welcome to TenForums @CholoBoiii

Yes, since the Fall Creators Update (1709) the text for long disk names wrap instead of being truncated as previously. This has the unfortunate consequence you have experienced.

Disk spaces for select drives are not displayed under this pc (tiles)

 

Right click the D: drive and choose Rename. Rename the Seagate Backup Plus Drive to just Seagate and see what happens. Then move or delete some files off of the drive, it is running out of space.

 

Someone please explain what memory has to do with a ssd.

Hey, Jack - I think OP just used the term "memory" in place of what most of us think of as "storage space" on a disk, whether it be an HDD or an SSD. Does that help resolve it for you?

 

That is exactly what I was trying to find out in my post #2.
Right tick on the drive and select properties.
