About this tag
The treesize free tag brings together discussion of using TreeSize Free to investigate persistent disk-space shortages on Windows system drives. The available conversation describes a C:\ drive that repeatedly fell below 10 GB, and at times below 1 or 2 GB, despite allocating about 200 GB for Windows and related programs. TreeSize Free helped identify where storage was being used and supported recovery of enough space to raise free capacity above 60 GB.

This archive is most relevant to readers looking for a practical way to understand and manage unexpectedly full Windows drives.
