disk space

Recently noticed my C: drive had almost maxed out (47 GB free of 457 GB). Knowing this wasn't right I did a quick total of all the files which came out at about 250 GB. I then went back and carefully checked each folder and file and still came up with 250GB. Then I downloaded an analytical...

How can I recover 15 GB of C: partition ssd space that WinDirStat shows as "unknown" and I cannot access? I know this "unknown" 15 GB is real because Windows File Explorer shows there is an unexplained shortage of disk space. Its 15 GB or perhaps more. I don't have a problem accounting for the...

Hi everyone, I was checking my storage to find that I only have 734 MB left! And that’s out of 119 GB!! So of course I checked what exactly is taking up this much and found Apps and Games to take up 81.2 GB! Huh strange since I really don’t download any apps much less games and I sorted them by...

So, I've been having issues with my main harddrive (A 250gb Samsung 750 Evo SSD) constantly becoming full, mainly as a result of downloads and whatnot after having not much space left. So i decided to do a thorough search for the main problem, and strangely enough, it seems to be the Onedrive...

Alright I have a 60GB ssd on my desktop and I have noticed Windows is using up almost 60% of my disk space (according to WizTree). Windows is preventing me from deleting some junk (like unneeded upgrade files, OneNote, and even Visual Studio) so I currently have about 5GB of space left even...

I have an external Seagate 8TB USB disk . As usual , when I have less than 10% free disk space , Win 7 gives me a warning . If this is only a data disk , is it still important to have at least 10% free space ?

So today I went to the windows disk cleanup on my laptop which only has 32GB of storage on it, and it said that I could get 3.9 TB back and that seems impossible since it is 32GB model. It turns out that the thing that was 3.9 TB was the old windows versions that it saved apparently. But it...

A couple of weeks ago I got a message that I had virtually no space on my C drive (3 x 40GB SSD in RAID 0). This was a big surprise. I am running Windows 7 PRO. I removed some restore points to get back to 7 GB of free space. I then did a disk cleanup to get to 11 GB. Since then, the free...

I am uncertain what the differences are between System Restore Points and Shadow Copies. Actually I need only System Restore Points. 1.) Can I use SRP without (!) Shadow Copies? 2.) When Shadow copies always necessary: Why are SRP invented? Why not using Shadow Copies only? 3.) Assume I...
