    Why does my C: Drive seem to fluctuate up/down by like 30G yes, Internet Caching etc may add 1-2G, but 30G??? Seriously, my Primary Drive Space just seems to had evaporated and was getting RED warning indicator on/with Explorer about shrinking and nearing maxing out the HDD Solid State drive at like with 40G showing available of 465G. So I uninstalled some Programs I haven't really used in a long time and maybe not again anytime soon to clean/clear some space. I even moved some DOCS yes, they really do not take up much space, but Manuscripts and supporting Files not really needed on Prima

  2. Damaged cache files in Windows Store

    We appreciate your response Jay. We suggest that you try resetting the cache folder in App Directory. You may follow the steps below:

    • Open File Explorer; then, copy-paste the following path in the explorer address bar and hit
      Enter:

      C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState



      Note: In case your Windows is installed on some other drive, replace
      C above with the system root drive, followed by the name of your own user account. Also, replace the text <username> with the username associated with your account.
    • In the LocalState folder, check whether the cache folder is present or not. If it is there, rename it
      cache.old.
    • Next, create a new folder and name it cache. In case the cache folder is not there by default, just create an empty new folder and name it
      cache.
    We would appreciate it if you could get back to us and provide us your feedback.
