Hi there, thank you for your question! You need to go to settings then system and then storage you should see storage sense at the top of the page. I would also recommend going through the storage tab and deleting any programs taking up too much space that you no longer need.
I disabled windows updates as they do not let you have control over this. One major windows complaint after 10. I disabled these and just updated every 4 months or so.
Hi there, thank you for your question! Are you downloading content and filling up the drive yourself or does it randomly get filled even though you aren't downloading anything?
Storage sense is absolutely fucked and deletes things that you are literally downloading, while you're still downloading them. If you reset your computer because the internet is freezing, you lose your files because Storage Sense doesn't understand if you want the file or not. Storage Sense is the weakest AI ever invented. You don't ever want the files deleted? That's okay, Storage Sense will delete them anyway! Please do not ever suggest or recommend storage sense. Storage sense is the #1 reason that any user, anywhere, loses their files.
Nice, thanks for the tips. After some days of making this adjustment and others, my C drive still gets full for no apparent reason. I pass from 70G to 12G of capacity in the C drive without installing or downloading anything from one day to another. Does anybody know why? And how can we stop it from happening?
Hi there, thank you for your question! Your C drive might be filling up due to several factors, including accumulated Windows update files, temporary files, system restore points, pagefile and hibernation files, large log files, or even malware. To address this, you can run Disk Cleanup regularly to remove system files and temporary files, disable system restore points or delete old ones, reduce the size of the pagefile or disable hibernation, and check for large log files in app directories.
The #3 and #4 method does not seem to work for my Windows 10? Cannot find the storage sense of even the restore points?
