Thanks - this was really helpful for someone like me that uses a computer a lot without knowing very much about how it actually works. The sound quality was good too. I have managed to free up some space on my C: drive which was ~99.9% full.
My "system and reserved" takes up almost 80% of my storage usage, gets higher with every update, and I can't find enough things on my computer to delete to start a manual reset, any advice?
Same problem here I’m trying to completely wipe my windows and I have deleted everything on it ran multiple disk drives cleanups and restarted it several times. And it still asks to free up space. I have no idea what to do at this point
I was trying to clear up disk space the old fashioned way by going directly into my files. so annoying. This video was a lifesaver! As always! If anyone is wondering, this works the same for windows 11
Thanks for this down to earth explanation on hard drive storage. I have a HP laptop with Windows 10 and it seems to take forever to boot up. Do you have a video or plan to make a video on this problem?? Thanks
this might also help... how to limit what apps / services start when you boot up your machine: ua-cam.com/video/E9P5eZm1AoA/v-deo.html Let me know if you notice a performance difference!
Omg you saved me!!!!! I have gotten a new job and my laptop had Microsoft 2016. I have now bought a new laptop and 365 Personal plan, and have been learning for the past few days about usage and your videos were treasure to me, I have managed to make an document needed for tonight's meeting, shared it and wrote a comment God, if I hadn't listened to you, I wouldn't have any idea what and how to work in 365. Thank you🙏
Excellent. I happened upon this clip while watching one of Kevin's other videos. Out of curiosity, I decided to follow the instructions; I discovered 34 GB of wasted storage. Thanks, Kevin.
My computer literally just adds random files and apps on it then I’m not able to delete them. I’m not able to have anything on it and the search takes forever, I’m trying to reset it fully but I need more space. And it’s so annoying, I’m so frustrated because I constantly get notifications to free up space WHEN I CANT!
You explain the steps clearly in a way most people can comprehend. There is a few people on YT that have heavy accents that are hard to understand. Good video, very helpful😆
When I click on apps and games, I can see all those apps and how much space they’re taking up. But when I scroll all the way down, I see a few large games like csgo r6s etc. but it doesn’t say how much space they’re taking up?
Thank you, Kevin! I just got from 35 GB to 140 GB by just uninstalling like 5 apps! (They were really big) I would now uninstall more big apps when I need. Thank you once again, Kevin!
Thank you, this video was very helpful. Started at 15.2MB free of 141GB, now at 64.5GB free of 141GB. Not sure of the math but I am sure it is a lot. I started out with RED all the way across my C: drive and now it is BLUE about half way across. When I opened up my storage, like instructed, my "other" storage was full, blue all the way across. When I clicked on it, it said no information available. So after a couple of attempts it did finally open the file and I saw why it was so full and deleted those files and that cleared out the "other" and gave me the results mentioned above. Thank you
Thank you for the video. My C Drive is in the red zone. I have cleaned up everything you mentioned in the video. I think maybe my dropbox account is storing files not only in Dropbox but also on my computer. Have you heard of this and can you do a video on how to fix it so I can get my C Drive out of the red zone?
Thanks, Kevin! Very clear explanation and I have already benefited from it; hence, I could clear up the space for a little bit more than 1 GB. However, my huge problem is that I have enormous amount exactly video files which I should not edit to keep their original data. You are mentioning "Cloud" for keeping video files in this tutorial, but I have no idea if it is safe to keep your personal video files in "Cloud". Also, I saw that you use "One Drive" app. Can you also explain if it is safe to use it for strictly personal files and what actually it is used for. Please, help! Rather desperate to keep my second-hand computer in working condition as it is the only one and absolutely unreplaceable due to my personal circumstances of existence.
@@Bl1tzo_slvr I rather have negative opinion on Microsoft. So the name of the firm by itself doesn't mean safety of its products for me. Quite contrary, in fact. The Microsoft politics is force people and deprived them from choice. Thus, I dream of the appearance of a strong competitor to stop Microsoft to be a monopoly in the field of computer business.
@@Bl1tzo_slvr Sorry, didn't mean to sound rude or disappoint you, it's just the opinion I have got through my experience with Microsoft. Still, you videos are great and very helpful. I appreciate them a lot! And you are a very charming person!
I'm just confused on how my Apps and Features takes up 650GB. Yes, I use my computer for gaming but the largest file under that category is 11GB. Then, four other things in GB. I understand that a very large amount of small files can add up to a lot in the long run. But 650GB? This just makes no sense to me. Edit/Solution: It turns out that in your Apps and Features section of storage, your steam games’ storage use isn’t shown. Almost every steam game was just blank for the storage use, even though they were the main apps that were taking up storage.
Sour Watermelon, I don’t really know what I’m doing so it’s better for you to research it on your own. But, try right clicking and your game in steam, properties, then local files.
Thank you so much! My gigs were used to be on 12.8gb but now since my videos are all cleared out due to 44gb of videos and now my space is at 57gb!! Yay
Thank you so much for this! I had about 23-25GB left and i watched this video and now i have 72! I didnt even know about these settings so this really helped! I need space for Steam games because most of the games i play are 20-30GB and i also love downloading mods for them so this was a massive help because most good mods are 4-8GB or more. Thank you once again!🙏❤
its fucking annoying, i need a whole 2 gigabytes to download the new windows update but that basically means i need to delete everything, and a lot of my stuff i need it. like audio drivers
Wow! Using the Storage Utility I found over 100gb of space Adobe Creative cloud was taking up on my C drive. These were old files I didn't need anymore, and they had all been moved to Google Drive. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this information I’ve been sad that my phone have rly low storage and can’t even download a game i wanted but now i can download it on my laptop after these high storage app deletef

when I click uninstall on some of the apps on my computer it doesn't actually uninstall, nothing happens.
or it might go in the recycle bin then you just need to clear the bin
Go to uninstall a program in control panel
Go to recycle ben and delete al
