  3. Windows 10 Storage

    Im running out of storage on my laptop. Ive taken steps to clear some room, cc cleaner etc but freed up 2 gb at most. The bulk of my storage is in sytem(needed), apps, or other. When i try and remove some apps and other content it only lists enough to
    maybe cover a gig at most, even though it says there is 50 gb worth. Any way for me to access and remove any of the this? Thanks.

    why does my laptop say 50 gb of my storage is used up in other people

    What the heck is "Other People" - using 105 GB storage on my C: drive

    I have a 1TB Hard Drive and when I go into the Settings>System>Storage>This PC (Cwhy does my laptop say 50 gb of my storage is used up in other people :), I find 564GB out of 931GB of Storage used -- and in the storage breakdown, I see things like:

    System & reserved

    Apps & games

    Documents

    Pictures

    Music

    Mail

    One Drive

    Maps

    etc.

    and then at the bottom of the list, there are a couple of things/areas called:

    "Other people"

    and "Other".

    When I click on "Other", I see a bunch of things/folders identified that I recognize, i.e.:

    MYY Pictures

    MYY Documents

    Drivers

    Apps

    Favorites

    etc.

    But when I click on "Other people" I see nothing - other than the following:

    "Other people

    105 GB

    You can manage other user accounts on this PC below

    Manage other people" (this last line is a light-blue, non-clickable link)

    So my question is "what is Other people" -- and what can I do about it since it seems to be taking up 105 GB on my C: drive -- and I can't find it since it does not show up at any place in Windows Explorer (although Contana did find an App called "Other
    People with Brad Listi", whatever the heck that is, which I am not using, I am certain, to my knowledge)?
