    Why is nearly half of my SSD space already used?


    Hej guys, just bought Surface Laptop 3 with 128GB SSD a couple days ago... the problem is, that I do only have 79GB of free space right out of the box.. I mean, shouldn't I have at least 100GB ?

    One Drive Uses SSD Space

    I noticed that my free space on my SSD has gotten really low, and when I checked in my settings I saw that the largest block of used space was taken up by OneDrive. Can anyone tell me why OneDrive is using space on my PC's SSD?

    SSD storage keeps filling up on its own

    Hi Ash,

    There's a possibility that the files are just hidden. As an initial troubleshooting, we suggest following the steps below on how to display hidden files that's eating space of your SSD:

    • On the Search bar, type folder, and then select
      Show hidden files and folders from the search results.
    • Under Advanced settings, select Show hidden files, folders, and drives,
      and then select OK.

    Keep us in the loop with the result.

    Why is nearly half of my SSD space already used?

    SSD space

    I had to reset Windows 10 recently. the laptop worked wonderfully. The problem I have now is that the Dec Tuesday update did not work. Now windows modules installer continued to work and the SSD in one day filled almost to capacity. The SSD at the
    start of the day showed 63GB of space used. At the end of the day, the total was 203GB used. I went to system restore and rolled back to the time before the update. I then had 75GB of space used but each time I checked, the space on the SSD was getting
    smaller, about a GB every 20 minutes or so within 3 hours the used space went from 75gb to 102gb. I have since gone to the task manager and ended the process of Windows Modules Installer. The used space on the SSD is no longer getting larger, but how do I
    regain the lost space on the SSD. THe SSD is a Samsung 250 EVO 850.
