Your C drive is full because it contains too many files or programs taking up space.
Your C drive is full because it contains too many files or programs taking up space.
It's a 256gb ssd and it tells me used space is 238gb and free space is 52mb. I don't have anything on there besides OS, programs and whatever is on the desktop which is not much. The only folders with significant data is: Program Files which 33.4 gb, Program Files (x86) which is 5.99 gb, Scratch at 1.37 gb, Users at 128 gb and Windows at 26.6 gb. Inside Users I have 4 folders: DefaultAppPool, Public and 2 user names folders. The only folder in there with significant data is mine which is 128 gb. Inside mine there are 15 folders. The only ones with significant data is Desktop which has 4.82 gb and MyDocuments which is 1.3 gb. Now that adds up to 6.12 gb. Where the heck is the rest of 120+ gb??? It's not showing up anywhere.
Verify the %localappdata directory (c:\users\[username]\appdata\local). It could relate to email or phone backups. Also consider performing a disk cleanup. Right-click the drive in Explorer, choose Properties, then select Disk Cleanup.
Looking for a secret file size of 128GB? Just adjust the display options in Explorer and turn off the hiding feature before checking the drive again.
