I did a laptop reset because it was running very slow, but after I did, my hard drive showed as being almost full. It didn't make any sense. I could see all of my folders and the data in them did not add up to all the space that was being used. Followed your instructions about showing hidden files and there it was, a huge 400 gig folder with all the reset data in it. I deleted it and Problem solved! You are awesome!!!
I have a issue where mp4s and wav files on my D and C drive show up in search on c drive. Even though it shows file path is E drive its still coming up under C. And games or game launchers I install on D or E are taking up space on C anyways
I have windows 10 pro installed on 128 GB ssd there is no data or software in it but the drive full there is around 70 GB free space now it's only 9 GB I tried all the method but didn't work
Hi there, thank you for your question! Check if hibernation is enabled, Windows creates a hibernation file which can be quite large. You can disable hibernation to recover this space. Open a Command Prompt as administrator and type: powercfg /h off. Use tools like WinDirStat or TreeSize to visualize the usage of disk space. These tools can help you identify large files or folders that might be taking up space. If none of these work try run a disk check to ensure there are no errors on your SSD. Open Command Prompt as administrator and type: chkdsk /f.
Thanks a lot man I nearly Spent 1 hour on finding the files which were taking up my disk space Then I deleted the temp files And everything sorted out.
My issue was not covered in this video. I found that I had a backup of windows 7 on my storage drive. The file showed 0 bytes but when I deleted it, it suddenly showed 500GB being deleted. That was my issue. I found out that this is a backup created when upgrading to 10 in case it does not work out. Not sure why this is kept after so much time has passed.
I have Dell core i3 using window 10, I am facing a undefined issue, as I power on my laptop a blue screen glow with please wait and just in few seconds it's automatically power off please guide me or help me I will be very thankful for this..
Hi Mike, Great channel! I need help ! After using Disk Drill I uninstalled it from my system on my mac. Not my external drive doesnt show up ? Its like it disappeared.
Hi there, Thank you for your question. If your external drive is not showing up after using Disk Drill and uninstalling it on your Mac, there are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue: Check Disk Utility: Open Disk Utility on your Mac (you can find it in the Applications > Utilities folder). Look for your external drive in the list on the left side. If the drive is there, but not mounted, you can try mounting it by selecting it and clicking the "Mount" button. Restart Your Mac: Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve connectivity issues between your Mac and external drives. Use a Different USB Port or Cable: Try connecting your external drive to a different USB port on your Mac. If you're using an external power source for the drive, ensure it's connected and functioning. If possible, try a different USB cable to rule out cable issues.
Hi, Thanks so much for taking the time to respond.Very kind of you. It just happened only after I installed the drive Drill. So it may not be a cable issue. I will try the steps you gave me..thanks so much :)@@RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware

My pc think my external hard drive is a server. When I open it it's empty. In device manager it appear as the hard drive and as a server. Basically there are two device for the them harddrive. When I disconnect the hard drive both icon disapear
I removed my hard drive from my computer and put it another so that l can copy large files but when l put it back it won't show the files and shows that the space is occupied. How would l fix this problem?
I tried method 6 and it came back with an error: "Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges or the disk may be locked by another process." Ah good old 'PC master race!' PS. I actually have no idea wtf it's talking about so I guess I'm stuck with a full drive that has nothing on it. Unless if I get a reply from the video creator...which is highly unlikely.
It should've given you an option to scan and repair the drive the next time the pc restarts. That's what it did for me when my predator laptop had an issue with storage stuff
Thank you so much for this video!! My computer was acting up and all the available storage space was gone in minutes! I had no idea what was going on! It seemed as if someone had hacked my computer. I used the antivirus program that I have installed on my computer and scanned the C-drive and then clicked Re-gain space and Now I have more storage space in my laptop than before!

Hi there, thank you for your question! It's likely due to an oversight during the initial setup, especially if it's a used or refurbished device. This could be the result of a previous owner not properly wiping the data or a mix-up at the store. Double-check for multiple partitions or consider cloud sync services that might be populating your disk with data from the cloud. Additionally, some laptops come with pre-installed software or sample files, which could explain the data you're seeing. To resolve the issue, you may need to perform a factory reset or contact the seller or laptop manufacturer for assistance.

Hi there, thank you for your question! It seems that some files in the Prefetch folder cannot be deleted because they are being used by the Windows Audio Endpoint Builder process, which is essential for your system. You can try restarting your computer to close all running processes, including the Windows Audio Endpoint Builder, and then attempting to delete the files again. Alternatively, you can boot your computer into Safe Mode to prevent the process from running. If neither of these methods works, you can use third-party tools such as Unlocker or Process Explorer to force the deletion of the files. However, be cautious when using these tools, as they may damage your system if used incorrectly. It is worth noting that deleting the files in the Prefetch folder will not harm your system, but it may slightly slow down the launch times of frequently used applications until new files are generated.
Hi there, thank you for your question! You should have an anti virus software pre installed on your computer most likely called windows defender I would try running that.

Please help me sir I was installing a game and somehow installation stopped and there was no folder of it and space is decreased how can I get back mt drive space?
Hi there, thank you for your question! First check the Recycle Bin for any deleted game files that might have been moved there. Next, use the built-in Disk Cleanup tool in Windows to remove temporary files and free up space. Additionally, search for hidden files or folders related to the game in File Explorer, enable the display of hidden items, and delete them if found. You can also consider using third-party disk cleanup tools like CCleaner. Check temporary folders for game files, and if you come across any, delete them. Lastly, try restarting your computer to release locked files.

Hi there, thank you for your question! When you delete files from your drive the disc space will increase meaning you have more space on your drive as its gone from only have 187gb free to having 211gb free.
My issue ended up being, I had to reformat my 2nd SSD. It was saying I had almost 100GB of used space, despite nothing being on it, and there being no partitions. Was a 20 second fix. :D
Why does technology suck so hard? - I have no viruses, its all clean. - recycle bin is empty - desktop only has a few megabytes of files - no programs besides essentials installed on C drive - no big hidden files - all temporary files deleted - out of 222 GB I have 7... FCKIN SEVEN
@June Utland only found one folder of 40 GB after searching through individual folders after HOURS and then decided to just delete the 40 GB and accept this at least. The stupid thing is not all the folders show you exactly how many GB they hold. I sorted all folders by size and still in one of the "smallest" folders there was the 40 GB folder. So I guess it does not count every type of folder and you really have to open EVERYTHING manually which takes a lot of time. Sorry I cant help. But I guess its either tedious searching or just buying a new drive.
Hi there, thank you for your question! If you cant delete any files to make space for antivirus software try booting into safe Mode with your preinstalled antivirus software and try run it. If internet access remains restricted, download the antivirus software onto a USB drive or external device from another computer and try run it from the usb.Consider using a bootable antivirus rescue disk created on another device or seek professional help if the problem persists. If all else fails you might need to perfrom a factory reset on your computer by make sure to back up all your essential data before hand as a factory reset will erase all data on your computer.
Well, i was able to free up a little with these tips but when you say "files you don't want or need"... well i don't know what most of these files do so...
Hi there, thank you for your question! I'd recommend looking the file up on the internet if there isn't any information saying you can delete it then it should be fine to delete.
Be very careful deleting partitions... you can easily make your computer inoperable by deleting the wrong drive. I'm surprised he did not provide a disclaimer in the video...
Hi there, thank you for your question. Deleting partitions, especially without proper knowledge or caution, can lead to data loss and potentially render a computer inoperable. It's crucial for users to exercise extreme caution when performing actions like partition deletion or formatting.

Bless you. Just build a new pc to replace my trash laptop. My laptop has 28gb of space after windows and was unable to even install installation media for windows. Had 4.3 gb of temp files.
All drives don't show the true storage capacity and can be off by 10%, this is because the only way to get an accurate report on storage is to do a full scan which can take over an hour to do.
I think this all is very very bad advice, slowly directing someone to erase their harddrive without any big big disclaimer! And I think you forget to mention the most obvious thing: Windows will allocate a pretty significant amount of your harddrive for paging memory, you will specially notice that when an extra drive is installed next to your default C drive, when that drive is completely empty it still can reserve many GB's (it probably will tell you that when you run checkdisk) . The more RAM is installed, probably the bigger that page file allocation is going to be. By the way, the best advice to give someone that is suffering a full harddrive is: never ever erase your files just because you need some space, you will probably regret that later on! Don't waste your time, just get new drive and get a bigger one than you thought you'd needed to.
I hate to say it but this is false hope 8 times if this is the case. Bloatware is real and hard to find because the applications themselves are often hidden/small but they create/use temporary HD space in the GB. Lenovo and Dell are some of the worst culprits. They aren't easy apps to find and you have to have real technical knowledge to get them out. You could reboot and you have gigabytes free and then an hour later your computer is telling you you have none. It's a bloatware issue. Get with an actual professional to help you out.

Bless you. Just build a new pc to replace my trash laptop. My laptop has 28gb of space after windows and was unable to even install installation media for windows. Had 4.3 gb of temp files.

My pc show hrd drive is full but i have enough space..how 2 fix 😭😭😭
mine shows 5 GB free of 117 GB for C and D is 1 TB, WTF !!! did someone switch the 2? or does C:/ is not showing true storage cpacity?
All drives don't show the true storage capacity and can be off by 10%, this is because the only way to get an accurate report on storage is to do a full scan which can take over an hour to do.
You've saved me from Formatting my Pc many thanks... Hidden files were eating my Space

Thanks so much for this very helpful video!
I cant download an anti-virus software because there is no space........
I think this all is very very bad advice, slowly directing someone to erase their harddrive without any big big disclaimer!
And I think you forget to mention the most obvious thing: Windows will allocate a pretty significant amount of your harddrive for paging memory, you will specially notice that when an extra drive is installed next to your default C drive, when that drive is completely empty it still can reserve many GB's (it probably will tell you that when you run checkdisk) . The more RAM is installed, probably the bigger that page file allocation is going to be.
By the way, the best advice to give someone that is suffering a full harddrive is: never ever erase your files just because you need some space, you will probably regret that later on! Don't waste your time, just get new drive and get a bigger one than you thought you'd needed to.
Lol for me this wasnt a big deal from what i can see the file is full and i dont have any access to any of the files
Best video on this problem
Thank you, that was well presented.
Glad to hear that! Please hit the subscribe button.
Bruh my space went down instead of up
same!
I hate to say it but this is false hope 8 times if this is the case. Bloatware is real and hard to find because the applications themselves are often hidden/small but they create/use temporary HD space in the GB. Lenovo and Dell are some of the worst culprits. They aren't easy apps to find and you have to have real technical knowledge to get them out. You could reboot and you have gigabytes free and then an hour later your computer is telling you you have none. It's a bloatware issue. Get with an actual professional to help you out.
Amazing, thanks a lot; and just subscribed!
Awesome, thank you!
Local temp files where the problem thanks my man!
