    Why the Drive Free Room under Windows 10 Becomes Smaller, about 6GB missing? e7386906-716d-47ee-874f-db56a99a0ea1?upload=true.png



    For months, I found a very headache problem, the drive free room under Windows 10 becomes smaller, about 6 GB space missing as shown above (Windows 10 1909)! It has two Windows installations on my system, one is this, the other is Windows 8.1, which told the same size of free room as AOMEI Partition Assistant. So I am very curious where does the 6 GB space go? And I find the same problem on Windows 10 1809 and 1903 too!


    Because it eats up too much room, and I am planing to get back to Windows 7! Would you please show me a hand to tell me the reason, or ways to get back the eaten-up 6GB?


    Million thanks in advance!

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK
