disk space

I was having space problems on my SSD so I checked what is taking up so much space with SpaceMonger and it turns out my Windows folder is 40GB big. How normal is this and how could I get it smaller? I have only had this new SSD with windows for a year. :/

I have two 1TB HDD"s combined into one for my D:\ totaling 1.81 TB. I have 88GB free space left. What would happen if I uncombined this drive or would it allow me to at all? I can deal with a few problems like it not knowing where a program is. I just don't want the drives to crash and need...

Hi I'm still questioning why the driver store folder is so large. On my computer it's 25 Gigabytes of the total 36.9 Gigabytes of my Windows install. While I still have enough free space, I wonder why some people can have such small Windows installations. Obviously they don't have this folder...

Hi Here's the new version. After doing a clean install my C:\ drive is using 55 Gigabytes of the 100 available. I've eliminated Hiberfil.sys, removed Recovery Image, and moved the Pagefile to another drive. The thing that really puzzles me is how much space it used for System Volume...

Hi I've got my computer all up and running again with everything installed and for the most part working. It's running very well, but there is a down side. Cortana has stopped talking again. I can clearly see that she is sending the speech signal to my Sound Blaster Card, but unlike last time...

Hi I came to my attention today that some people seem to have much smaller Windows 10 installs then I do. I don't have any software in my C:\ drive other then a few really small things like CCleaner etc. I have W10 installed on a 100 Gb partition. It uses 63 Gb of that. Only 10 of those are...

Greetings Microsoft, Since Windows largely dominates the OS most gamers, even regular Windows users own, I highly recommend the size of the OS you will be creating to be much smaller, I started gaming on Windows 98SE and it took up about 2GB of storage space, my performance with my games was...

Hi I just finished installing 10049 and it took 4.5 hours from the point when it rebooted and started to install. I read that some people were having problems with it taking a while, but most of the information seemed to indicate that it was caused by not having enough free disk space. I made...

Hey folks. I've tried to find a solution to this problem elsewhere but have still found no satisfactory solution. My C drive is 500 Gb, of which 457 are available to use. The folders I have on the C drive total less than 200 Gb, but the drive shows only 40.4 Gb free. When using Tree Size it...

Hi This was a real battle but after an hour of struggle I finally did it. I needed to get rid of it because I only allotted 100 Gb for my Windows 10 drives and the Windows.old folder was using 17 of it, leaving only a small amount of free space. I usually just log into Ubuntu and remove...

I made my C partition 100GB thinking that i wouldn't need more than that for my windows and users folder, but it turns out that most of the time i am struggling to keep the 10% needed for the windows to function properly. Now while my User folder takes 18GB which is reasonable my Windows folder...

The recovery drive intentionally has little space as it is not intended to be used beyond storing the recovery image. You should not do anything with that drive (compressing it, adding to or subtracting from its content or absolutely anything else). It's sole purpose is to enable full system...
