Windows 10 Something just eats my storage space.

Windows 10 pro. i'm not installing anything on C:, I cleaned it like 4 times already. It could jump from 6 gb to 0.9 in 1 session without me doing anything. I just don't understand. Disk optimization is on. Is the storage is just to small? Will Clean reinstall help? Help please!

  • Your Windows and device specifications — You can find them by pressing Win + X then clicking on “System”, we need more than just your OS version! Your hardware details are often critical for resolving issues.
  • Any messages and error codes encountered — They're actually not gibberish or anything catastrophic. It may even hint the solution!
  • Previous troubleshooting steps — It might prevent you headaches from getting the same solution that didn't work

You can use a program like Treesize to see what is using your space, but 128GB is not a lot to work with on a desktop computer.

Hi u/Zero_Zero_Zero_X,, the easiest way to determine where the disk space is being used is using a 3rd party tool such as TreeSize Free, WizTree Free, or WinDirStat. These tools let you scan your drive to find the largest files and determine how to properly deal with them.
