    xcopy "not enough disk space" in win10


    Hi there. I have an issue with win10 and xcopy. Every time I buy an external hdd or ssd I own a lot of those, both kinds, mainly used for backups, and not stressed much I check if it works, by formatting it and fill it with rubbish. The process goes like that, I create a folder in the root of that drive, say fill00001 and put about 10GB of rubbish files in it, few large ~1 to 1.5GB each, some of average-size, more of small size. Then I use a batch file stored in the same root folder of the external drive, with a for-loop, md, xcopy, to create a series of folders where the numbers increme

    XCopy not working on Win10

    Hi,

    There is a thread on this topic but it doesn't show a resolution.

    Has something changed where xcopy doesn't work on Win10?

    I am looking to copy files and I can't get even the simpliest .bat file to work. Copying 1 file to another folder on the C directory.

    @EchoOff xcopy C:\files\test.bat C:\files-to\

    Any suggestions are appreciated!

    thanks,

    joan

    disk space reduced after media creation tool

    Hi Sarah,

    One of the possible reasons why your disk space was reduced is due to an unallocated disk space on your partitions. For us to isolate your concern, we suggest that you check your device's partition. To do this, follow the steps provided below:

    • Type Computer Management on Ask me anything and press
      Enter.
    • Select Storage and click on Disk Management.
    • Send us a screenshot.
    We look forward to your response.
