    Windows 10 has been "stealing" hard disk space on my C / Windows Disk! **** is going on?


    Okay people of Microsoft, before I start telling my problem I just wanna tell you that I tried deleting every temp file, doing clean up and even manually deleting things that took place on my disc. At some point it was as low as 8 GB left, but would be at standard at 30 GB. After deleting stuff I was up at 48 GB, and now 29 GB. I have used Treesize as well. PROBLEM: So for the last year I have been seeing my Windows C disk removing space for no reason at all. I've had some windows updates through this time, updated my Graphic Card driver's etc. The normal stuff. As I told you before I have als

  3. Disk bloat in Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

    Is it my imagination, or does the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update consume an additional 20-30GB of disk space over the previous Creators Update release? Unfortunately, I didn't log my disk usage before the upgrade, but now my C: drive has 56GB of stuff, and I know it wasn't anywhere near that full before. I've run "Disk Cleanup -> Clean up system files" and selected everything on the list, including remove previous version of Windows. I also emptied my Recycle Bin, my Temp folder, \Windows\Temp folder, and \Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder. Finally, I ran Wise Disk Cleaner to delete assorted application garbage.

    Has anyone else noticed the bloat in Fall Creators Update?

    hard disk drive problem

    i have a western digital 120 gb ide hard drive ( there was still 25 gb free space ) and everything was running fine until i decided to update windows xp home edition service pack 1 to service pack 2. I updated the windows and after the updating was done it asked me to restart the computer so i restarted the computer and it was normal then the windows would not start up. i turned off the computer and then turned it back on, everything gets on normally but it gets stock at where it says windows xp, it just stays there forever therefore i dont get to my desktop. Any idea what might be causing the problem?

    I have an old hard disk drive which im not using and it has 10 gb space. Can i plug it to my system and run the windows from that and still be able use my other hard disk too so i can uninstall the service pack 2 from my hard disk.

    Waiting for your suggestions!

    Thank you for your time !
