  1. Why doesn't my main ssd gain storage space as I delete games/apps ?


    I uninstalled two games of about 40 gigs each but my ssd remains at 98 gigs out of 446, even though I have very little on it, it's probably not a virus since I'm very careful about what I put on it. I don't want to reset windows yet and with the holidays I don't have much time to take it to the store, so if anyone knows why that would be great.Edit: I checked and the games are well uninstalled, there is nothing left on my pc. And it only does it on the xbox app, I uninstalled it, it doesn't change anything, I found a post where someone says where some of the games are installed but it doesn'

  2. How to delete Suggested Sites in Win 10 Edge

    When I right click Suggested Sites in the Fav Bar, a "delete" window appears, but, clicking delete does not delete the Suggested Sites from the Favourite Bar.

    If I open up Favourites, then the Favourites Bar, and right click the delete window for Suggested Sites-this doesn`t work either.

    The Suggested Sites does nothing, (it certainly doesn`t show me a list of suggested sites), and takes up valuable space in my Fav Bar.which is why I want to rid myself of it.

  3. Storage Space

    Surface Pro 3 storage space is low. Storage settings say that Apps and Games is using 17.5 GB but when I add up the space from the list of apps it is only 5.7 GB. What is taking up up the other ~12 GB and how do I free up space?

    Storage Spaces setup doesn´t recognize my SATA disk

    I want to use ReFS (Reciellent File System) to store my files on Windows 10 because it seems like ReFS is safer for file storage than NTFS. As far as I understand, you need to configure Storage Spaces with mirror space as well to really make use of the ReFS
    monitoring and file maintenance.

    Read more on the HowToGeek website:

    How to Use Windows 10’s Storage Spaces to Mirror and Combine Drives

    My problem is as follows. I have one SSD and two 2 TB SSHD:s my laptop. The SSHD:s are of exactly the same kind, but one of them is installed as a SATA disk and one is installed as a USB disk in a HDCaddy where the optical drive used to be. When I try to
    setup Storage Spaces the SATA disk is not shown as availible only the USB disk in the HDCaddy is shown, why is that?

    If my research is correct, I need to have two disks in storage spaces and format as ReFS to get the protection against file corruption that NTFS don't provide so I'm very grateful for any suggestions.

    My system is Windows 10 pro Version build 17134.

    EDIT AUGUST 11TH 2018:

    I suddenly realized there is a Windows recovery partition on the SATA disk, and I suppose I need to delete it to get Storage Spaces setup to recognize this SATA disk. Since I have several backups of the OS, and a couple of bootable USB sticks, I don't need
    a recovery partition. But I'm not ready to go ahead just yet. I need to do som more file backups first and dwell on this for a while, I don't want to rush into such a big change.
