You said it looked fine so no need to leave it there ? I don't understand if the discs are O.K. What is the problem is it the memory? This PC >Local storage is definitely showing what I said above ? also System and reserved 781 GB.

You can use the W10 disc cleanup to freed up space https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3012-open-use-disk-cleanup-windows-10-a.html

What ram do you have http://quehow.com/how-to-check-ram-size-and-system-type-in-windows-10/4263.html

If you had left it there then others wouldn't have had to ask

Am i reading this correctly? 1 hdd in 2 partitions (c: and d: ) neither of which are over-full, and an external hdd (g: ) which is only 30% full??

Is there also a System Reserved small partition, 800-odd MEGAbytes used of 910 MEGAbytes (not GB)??

You are relying on my flaky memory GJ, the OP has removed the msinfo32 Storage stats , but hey ho

What's the problem? Looks fine to me.

Are you sure you are quoting hard disk used? Or MB of memory used? You are confusing us. 829 GB is a huge amount of data for any home computer, around 200 DVDs worth.

It's not that much for some people, it's a lot if you don't know what it is.

I prefer https://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free/ for finding where all the free space has gone.

If other people use the computer then you may be in for a shock. Sometimes it's easier to explain to them it's run out of space and you're going to look first, so they can delete things you may not want to see.

You'll start getting error messages, some things will fail to run.

To start with click in the "type here to search" and type disk clean, the top match should be "Disk Clean-up" Desktop App. click on that and it will ask what disk you want to clean. Select C: (which is probably the default) and click OK. Then click "Clean up system files", which will ask you which drive again, make sure C: is selected and click OK. Then tick all the squares by clicking in them and pressing OK.

That will free up some space, then you need to find out what else is on there. Treesize free is good, but there are others.

Seems my memory is not too bad , have you got the full cache there ?. I couldn't find it.

Yummymummy could you please run the msinfo32 storage stats again. Something is wrong and I guess for once it wasn't my memory:o
