    Windows hogs 28 of my 32 GB. How do I reduce this?


    System storage shows 28 of my 32 GB is used by Windows and its Reserved Memory. This is probably why it hangs and can't even keep up with my typing. I've already uninstalled Cortina and some other useless apps. Is there any way to eliminate the bloatware? I don't remember Windows 3.1 being this big and it ran just fine, although I preferred DOS.

    :)

    Computer 28 gb of ram usage.


    Windows 10 is leveraging the memory better than 7 or 8.1. It greatly reduces disk activity. Memory is there to use, so it uses it. That's what lots of memory is for; else why have it?

    How to install Windows 10 November update on 32 GB computer

    I am trying to update to 1511. I have a new, blank 16 GB USB drive inserted. When I get the statement that Windows needs more space and there is dropdown list of options I choose to use the USB drive for the needed space. I then get a statement that I
    need to free up about 4 GB on my C drive. I deleted a few things off the hard drive but I have no idea what I could delete or move to get 4 GB of free space. 28 of 32 GB is in use.

    I have read that the update KB3124260 is designed to help but I have no idea how to install it. My automatic Windows Update does not seem to ever choose it. I downloaded it from the Microsoft Update Catalog but it does not appear to have been installed.
    I don't see how to manually force an update from the C drive.

    Any suggestions?

    Windows hogs 28 of my 32 GB. How do I reduce this?

    Suddenly 28 GB of space disappeared from C:

    Hi, In the morning I opened my laptop and noticed that there is an around of 28 GB of space left in C:. I was running my dev application and for about after half an hour I got the "Manage space.." error.. I checked in the Windows Explorer and to my suprise
    C: lost all its space. It was showing 0 GB. I have tried many resolutions that i found on web -

    • Using CCleaner
    • Clearing temp files
    • Disk Cleanup
    • TreeSize app to view the size of files
    I don't have hibernate option enabled and also System Resotre Point is disabled.

    Please help.
