Windows 10: Windows storage and One Drive

I have an unusual question: My HP computer has two drives one C: drive is app 117 Gb and the D drive is appx 885Gb with the intent that the D drive is the data drive. A few months ago I became aware that the C: drive was almost full and I took the apropriate steps to ensure all my date (documents, photos etc) were rerouted to their intended location of D drive and the situation appared to correct itself. I noticed again today that less than 10Gb remained on the C drive. So it is out of my depth of knowledge to ascertain what could be moved off of the C drive because it appears to be only programs necessary for the operation of the system but a view of photos folder indicated that 6.5 Ghb were located in the C one drive file. Is there a way to force windows to use the D drive to store these files or will I be forced to discard them?? OneDrive

How to remove a bad drive in Windows 10 storage spaces pool

Could someone list the steps involved in replacing a bad drive from a Windows 10 storage spaces pool? I cannot find any info on the Microsoft support site that is specific to Windows 10. Also, could you list the steps to remove a 'good' drive and replace

Hi George,



Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.

• 
  Did you make any changes in BIOS?
  
• 
  Are you getting any error message?
  

I suggest you to update Storage controller drivers and check if it helps.

  Press Windows key + X.

  Select Device manager.

  Expand Storage controller.

  Right click on the driver and Update the drivers.
  

Steps 2: Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue
is with device. Refer these steps:

• 
  Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.
  
• 
  Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.
