  1. Why is ''apps and features'' taking so much space if i have almost no apps?


    Hello, I have a Nitro Acer 5 with 237GB of space, I have a couple of games and apps, and I calculated how much space they took up, and it was around 115GB. However, when I went into storage to free up space, it said I only had 2GB of space free, and the first category, the ''apps and features'' section took up 183GB, ''system reservation'' took up 43GB, and ''Other'' 5.8GBI have already tried Disk Cleanup, deleting temporary files, and even apps that I don't use that frequently and I still can't get space.Also, when I go into the ''apps and features'' section, half of the apps are something ca

  2. Apps & Features taking up 100GB of Disk Space

    Hi Microsoft Community,

    I have a Surface Laptop that has 120 GB of disk space, and of late notice that Apps & Features has taken up about 100GB of my disk space. When referring to it through Systems/Storage - it shows that App & Features has taken up 100GB, but in referring to
    the list of apps listed, there's at most 30GB. What's puzzling is there about 70GB that I am not able to find which app is taking up all that disk space. Have done all the disk/system cleanup and the space wouldn't clear.

    Appreciate any advise. Thanks

  3. Blank spaces on Apps and features page

    On Windows 10 apps and features page most apps listed have a size, my question is what does it mean when there is no size listed? Theres just a blank space. Thanks for any and all help.

    Apple Claims Steam Link App Violates App Store Guidelines

    Here's what Valve is contending with:
    App Store Review Guidelines - Apple Developer

    The ones that stand out that may have caught Steam Link:
    So yeah, there's a lot of reasons why Steam Link would get rejected.

    App submissions and approvals is a thing between developer and Apple. Valve intentionally let this information leak probably because Apple's restrictive guidlines will never allow Steam Link to be on the store. Valve is hoping the Steam user base makes a lot of noise so Apple grants Valve and exemption. I doubt it will work. Apple loves control and Steam Link is a portal into the Linux/Windows ecosystem. Even if Steam Link were exclusive to Mac OS, Apple would likely demand Valve use Mac OS's remote desktop features rather than Steam Link.

    I'd be shocked if Apple allows it.
