  1. Windows 10: "Not Enough Disk Space" - Need Help!


    So I am at my ends wit and have absolutely no idea what is going on with my PC.

    I have Windows 10, and use it for my daily computer (web browsing, occasional photoshop, youtube).

    But I literally don't really have anything on my computer...But for the past 4 months, it's been telling me that my C: Drive (110 GB) is almost full. Right now it says I have only 550 mb of space left on my C: Drive.....

    • All big files (Photoshop, Adobe, Movies etc... I have saved to an external HDD)
    • I have absolutely NO CLUE what is taking up so much space
    • I even have an additional internal HDD (F: Drive) that has 250 GB of space) but my computer still prompts me every time I turn it on that I have no space left.
    • I went through my C: Drive and clicked Properties on every folder listed there. Upon doing so, the Folder listed "User" had 66 GB taken up. Naturally I thought this a good place to start looking. Upon opening "Users", I clicked every folder in there, and none of them are over even 1.0 GB.....
    • I even tried to do Disk Cleanup for C: Drive, and it scanned and said "You can save 3.34 MB" of space..............like that's going to do me any good.
    • When I open my Storage, it says for C: Drive that "Apps and Games" is taking up 77 GB, but when I open that tab to list the Apps/Games, the biggest app size is my Outlook with 2 GB......

    I have literally NO IDEA what is taking up so much space on my computer.

    • Does Windows 10 Installation literally take up my entire 110 GB?
    • Is there hidden files somewhere that I'm not seeing?
    • Has anyone else had this problem?
    • Why is it still prompting me even when I have an additional F: Drive Internal HDD that's practically empty?

    ANY FIXES AND SOLUTIONS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.



    THANKS EVERYONE!

  2. Low Disk Space error

    Hi,

    I suggest you to delete the unwanted applications or games installed on the device and also perform a Disk Cleanup.

    In order to delete the games or applications, which has been downloaded from the Windows Store you need to right click on the game and select
    Uninstall option from the Start menu.

    If the games that you are downloaded are .exe or the applications which are not downloaded from the Windows Store, you may try deleting it from the Control panel.

    To do so, please follow the below steps.

    • Right Click on Start Menu.
    • Open Control Panel.
    • Click Programs.
    • Click Programs and Features.
    • Click on the programs that you would like to uninstall.
    I suggest you to try the steps in the following article to free up space and check if it helps.
