Hello, I have a problem with my C drive, which has 500GB of storage space, and I only have the operating system and a few photos on it. The 450GB of storage is full. I've defragmented it, run virus scans, etc. I've also looked for any games stored on it, but there's nothing there… what could be wrong?

Loading...Hello, I bought a new Samsung hard drive a while ago and have been wanting to try to copy Windows to my new SSD for a few weeks now without reinstalling it because my old one is full to the brim. I've now discovered Samsung Data Migration. I was wondering if this tool would allow…
I bought a 4 TB external 2.5-inch HDD in 2016. Now I want to expand the capacity and buy an 8 TB one, but I've discovered that the maximum capacity for a 2.5-inch drive is 5 TB. Why hasn't anything changed in the last 8 years, when capacities have been exploding constantly?
Hello, my dears 🙂 Unfortunately, I know absolutely nothing about PCs, so I bought mine ready-made from Alternate. Now the storage is running low (I have a 500GB SSD installed in the M2 slot). I wanted to upgrade my PC with a 1TB SATA SSD, and I've now found the slots on the motherboard. However,…
It's supposed to read a maximum of 7450 MB, but I have 50 more? In general, how would you describe the values? I know they're really good, but what are these values used for?
Which 2 or 4 TB HDD should I put in a PC as a data storage device? Is the ext4 file system formatted to MBR? I even manually formatted the SSDs to the simpler MBR format. Can I use a maximum of 2 terabytes of HDD for MBR under Linux or can I use a…

And depending on how many photographs and what format they are, it goes…
This photo can quickly prove 200MB today
I have made about 3gb place created as I do this regular, photos I have about 3 wallpapers
Then it will be time to analyze where much storage space will be used. The TreeSize Free can help.
Depending on which programs are installed, 500 GByte can take up how many system restore points and also be packed quite quickly in many photos.
It’s helpful to see who actually takes the place.
Also the system files? (For this purpose, a separate button under the selection window is provided in the window for data carrier cleaning. In addition, installation packages are also removed from updates/patches that usually stay on the hard drive and quickly eat a lot of storage space.)
including the system files? This is also where temporary files and sometimes backups of the last update are displayed?
And… have you chosen everything or just left the preselection?
It would also be interesting which Win you have installed and which programs.
See how much storage space you take and delete those you don’t need
I don’t know. I don’t know what you’re doing
Depending on which programs are installed, their temporary files will also be exploded. Recovery points and and and
On the notebook I have 174 of 175GB left and I have a lot of installed and on files that “Otto-Normalo” has not on it
have I actually, but that after 2 years of use of the pcs 450 gb are gone?
Two ideas to search for
Are you sure that you’ve occupied 450GB and not 450GB of free space?
yes, I’m not that stupid, the bar is already red
then download the TreeSize and analyze where the space is consumed.
I confirm your answer as you mention in the commentary “TreeSize”.
Thank you

Okey Thank you, I will make
Open Start Menu and enter cleanmgr. Then clean everything plus system data.
If you have very fast internet plus fixed IP and portoforwarding plus software that is communicating to the outside, it can also be that you have been hacked. Usually, fud/hidden FTPs are then placed on the computers and downloads are offered. Storage folders of things are mostly /Windows/… ; /System Volume Information/ or /RecycleBin/.
Probably the backups that Windows (I’m running that it’s WIN) is creating for system recovery. But don’t ask me where they’re hidden today.
C:\System Volume Information
It was also my first thought, the recovery points.
I’m using Avast Cleanup because I’m too stupid and lazy to look for every week, and there’s a lot of it!
Couple photos? Photos can need quite a lot of storage space.
Otherwise, disk cleaning will make including the system files.
Got 3 wallpapers no longer
Then do what I wrote.
Then you might have installed something that saves space.
I’m pretty pragmatic about that. Install my system, new instead of looking for the mistake forever.
Have I tried to release about 3 gb
