  1. Why does my Apps and Features storage section say it's full when the sum of what is in it...


    I have been running my mac computer on an un-activated version of bootcamp, and my computer has been running well, besides this problem. My total storage space on my computer is 140 GB, and each category adds up to equal around that much; my computers storage is full. The problem, however, is that my "Apps and features" section of my storage doesnt match the sum of what is in it. I have 3 games that should add up to around 50-55 GB of storage space, and the rest of the Apps and features is taken up by small apps that dont get bigger than 1 GB. My question is, why does my storage say it's full

    :)

    Why does Apps and Features say it’s taking up more storage than the sum of the apps?

    I’m trying to make room on my computer and noticed that Apps and Features in storage settings says it takes up 134GB. I went through all the apps to try and figure out how the heck that happened and noticed that:

    1) there are a bunch of apps that don’t list a storage size beside them (this includes things from Epson, Dropbox, Norton Security, Spotify, Steam, etc). I also uninstalled Spotify to see how much it would make a difference and nothing changed, even after
    a restart.

    2) if I add up everything manually, including my best estimates for these files without the storage size listed, I come at most to 50GB. Are there other apps in this section that aren’t shown or why would this be happening?

    new features 'completed' no details given: sd storage of apps and storage clean up

    For example:

    http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/f...racking_code=da61a0d7fd4a8d3f5764ea2b0e3661b2

    http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/f...racking_code=41f021c2f1ea44753096691f01539f29

    these two topics requesting sd storage for apps and some way to clean up phone storage have been closed as completed. But the copied and pasted template answer doesn't tell us how!!!

    many of us have already searched for an answer and found nothing. There is no way to do what they say they have done for us!!!

    so its seems Microsoft not only ignore their 'support forum' but also 'complete' tasks without doing so just to meet some stats somewhere.

    if Microsoft actually read this my suggestion is a link at least to a 'how to use this new feature' when you close a suggestion.

    in the very least explain what was done to complete these two

    Why does my Apps and Features storage section say it's full when the sum of what is in it...

    Apps & features disc space doesn't add up to storage use listed

    Under "Settings," and "Storage," my OS_Install (CWhy does my Apps and Features storage section say it's full when the sum of what is in it... :) total size is 238 GB.

    Under "This is how your storage is used and how you can free up space," it says...

    Apps & features....98.8 GB

    Yet even a cursory total of all programs listed (by size) under Apps & features reveals a total of about 1.5 GB.

    And, a bunch of programs are listed at the bottom (including at least one that needs a lot of storage space) without *any* numbers.

    Should I presume that the Settings -> Storage utility is incapable of listing ALL programs and all of the space they require?

    Why the massive difference (98.8 GB vs 1.5 GB)?
