Hey everyone. I just updated Windows 10 with version 1511 and everything seems fine so far. But when I check the storage, it shows my Apps + Games are using 122GB. My two biggest apps, Battlefield 4 and Black Ops 3, together take up 85GB, leaving around 30GB or more unaccounted for. I don’t know where they’re stored—I added up the rest of the apps and it still didn’t add up. Some apps show as unavailable, but their folders in Program Files and other areas don’t match either. The odd part is that the storage settings already break the OS into sections, making it clear what’s consuming space. I haven’t found the 30GB anywhere else.

I rely on a tool named "space sniffer" to monitor how much storage each program consumes. It offers a clearer view, with boxes indicating space usage, making it simple to identify the problematic files.
