    On my device, 24gb of storage is taken up by 'other people'. When I go to the other users page, there are no other people. I used to have another account but it's gone now, How do I get my storage back?

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.

    Nonexistent Mail App taking up space?

    If it was active before and contains your OST files and PST, I doubt that uninstalling Outlook would help with the storage issue. Although there is a way to only remove Outlook from the Office installation.

    Here are the steps:

    - Press the Windows key + R then enter appwiz.cpl

    - Select Microsoft Office then click the Change button on the menu

    - Tick the Add or Remove Features option and then click on the Continue button

    - From the drop-down list of programs, locate the Microsoft Outlook option, and then click the disk icon next to it.

    - Set it to Not Available and then Continue

    - That's it. Other apps should remain except for the ones that are set to Not Available.

    If you decided to remove Outlook, it is best to look for the location of the files from the Outlook app but it should probably be here by default. I would suggest transferring them to an external disk if you have one in case you need them in the future.

    C:\Users\[User Name]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook

    "Other People" category taking up storage space

    I have done that before and freed up a little space. If I do that now, I will gain 142MB of disk space.....my issue is the 61.3 GB occupied by "other people". I'm looking specifically for what is taking up that space listed under "other people"
