Haven’t watched yet but Is it just me or is it on Windows 10 where The more shit you delete the more it somehow duplicates and takes up more storage? EDIT: YES I KNOW ABOUT THE FUCKIN RECYCLING BIN

Thank you so much! You actually helped and didn’t say something like “download this app to free up space”. You are a good man, good luck!

Kevin: "I actually work at Microsoft" Me: Ah so he wont make me download viruses

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?

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.

This guy's sound is somehow reminding about the times I get in trouble, then my teacher would do counseling on me in an empty classroom.

Thanks, Kevin! You are the most helpful tech video creator on KZfaq. No nonsense, straight to the point. Great job,

4:31 this is for me just to remember

Very clean, clear, followed right along no prob. Freed up a lot of space! Thanks !

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

That was thorough and in-depth. This lesson gives me encouragement to do some disk operations and not to depend on Windows 10 alone.

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!

when I click uninstall on some of the apps on my computer it doesn't actually uninstall, nothing happens.

thank you so much for creating this video! I love how this video explains it very effectively and yet so efficient. once again, thank you!!😊

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?

I have 22gb in my "Other" folder. Wtf is that? And when I click it, it shows nothing?

A brilliant helpful video especially for a beginner like me . Precise crystal clear and not too fast

You literally just saved my life lol. Thank you so much!

*That moment every file on your computer is super important and you cant delete anything.* Well sh-

me watching even though i cant clear any more because i deleted everything but still has 8.55gb left:

just delete your ''homework'' folder

Thank you so much I'm trying my but i have my windows on red my laptop run 27.8 GB I used 865 MB , if I want to format the window can you tell me it possible to do it or how can I do

Thank you so much I really needed this. Keep up the great work👍

This helped so much, thanks

Bro your voice is so calm that it almost made me fall asleep

Thank you. Very nice and clear. A great help.

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

When I remove the temporary files, it only make less space what to do?

thanks i was looking on how to free up space thanks

Thank you! Very easy and straight forward :D

Thanks for the detailed directions for cleaning up low disk space on Win 10. I'll give it a try.

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.

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?

Thank you soooo much, i just bought a game, and i did not have enough space, but you saved the day!!XD

This was so helpful. I was able to go from less than 10% available space to about 40% available space. Thank you!

Bruh I have 30 gb laptop half the shit in it I can’t even delete

yooo i just found out the sims 4 clogged up 14gb of my pc, now i finally have a lot of space

Thanks man this was the most helpful video I found! keep it up! Great Video!

This is so helpful! My brother downloaded so many dumb games with a lot of storage so now I can play my games with way less lag and stuff. Thank you so much 🙏.

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.

My computer: why?! Me:**i need to download genshin**

Hi..I like how you go through each point to carry out a function. I'm not sure what it's called, but could you please do a video on how to "reverse time", where you take the computer back a few days before changes were made? My PC is nowhere near full, yet it was running VERY slow. In trying to clean up my files, I accidentally deleted a bunch of files I didn't know would delete. I need them back if possible. Thank you 😊

Thank you so much this helped me out a whole lot.

This Is STRESSING ME OUT?! It’s SO HARD?!

Bruh i bet this dude actually has a life

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! I was trying to free up space for weeks nobody knew how thank you. Now I'm going to subscribe to your Channel

I like how this video is buffering for me when ever he says something, its like my laptop is trying to make me suffer lmfao

pace was kinda bad. wasnt to the point 7/10

Dude your a saint thanks for this, I can Express my gratitude enough, much love

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.

238GB! Dang I only have 29.1GB

42gb of reserved 😂 I have to clean up big time

wow no bullshit just went strait to the good stuff, we need more people like this guy

Can you recover files after you use this method? I accidentally clicked on "Download" without knowing and now I lost a lot of files. If you have the time, please help

I have 6 GB left only still :(

“A little bit of space” lol 70 GB left

Thx u my man This helped so much!! My Computer was very slow untill i watch this video!!

Thankyou soo much! Really helped me with my gaming pc and freeing up space for more games :)

This made me delete my stuff

Even though i still have 200 gb free space, i still want to remove some files xd

Great video, I noticed there was files located on C drive Apps & features, these files are content folders for some of my programs.... is there away to transfer them to a secondary drive that's also on my computer? Thank you in advance

When I want to view my other drives on my laptop, it says that Others is taking up the most space. When I click on Others, they show me nothing. I've got so many problems, this is just one of them. Help!

Omg thank u soo much! I haven't played online games that need to download in months! Thank u so much💜

Thank you thank you thank you! I have been trying to download an app for me to make a minecraft texture pack, and I didn't have enough space. This helped me lot! Thank you! ❤

Love your channel... so many helpful things. Glad you left Microsoft to do what you are doing. Keep it up the good work my friend. Thanks Kevin.

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 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

Brilliant, such a simple fix. Thanks

Thank you very much ❤ this video is so much helpful than I thought it was 😊😊

very simple, good work kevin! Keep up the work, God bless 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

How about during a windows 10 REINSTALL I encounter not enough free space to continue...is there some way to free up space for the primary drive [465GB and 465GB F.S.] while still in the REINSTALL mode. Two other drives listed [reserve] with very little F.S but If that's not possible, how about some way to free up space before starting another REINSTALL. I can't do anything with the problem PC. Dealing with a "No Boot Device Available...." error message during normal startup?

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!🙏❤

I have watched the video five times every time it helps me you are a saint

Hey my gaming pc says I need 10 more gb of desk space how can I do that I tryed this

Thank you for sharing this! very helpful!

When I go to my temp files in settings it says my downloads is taking up 153gb so I was wondering if its safe to delete this because I dont wanna mess up anything. Will it wipe anything downloaded on the drive.

Very helpful Kevin. Thanks for this.

THANK YOU YOU ARE THE Best unlike all the other people that make it so complicated

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

You are such a blessing, seriously. I needed this

I have the most storage used in apps and I was looking through it and I found apps only like max 200 MB and if you count the apps it make only about 5 gb but I'm using 50 gb. How is that and how to fix it?

Omg Thanks Man You Help Me Alot Keep Up The Great Work Bro 👌🙏👏👍

Thankyou for the video this help so much my laptop was running so slow straight to the point

lovely video dude, thanks a lot for the help!! :)

Also lately when I download a pdf, it seems to be saving it in two locations and I don't know what settings were changed that makes this happen. Any recommendations?

well that worked for me, well presented and extremely easy for this old chap who doesn't know a lot about computing,

Thank you. Such a clean and concise video.

I have a 32GB eMMC with 29.1 GB of usable storage. I'm using 22.4 GB, wit 6.68 GB free. There are only 2 times when I've had storage in the double digits (10GB or above) - when I first got my computer in 2018 and when I updated to 20H2 in February. Ever since, the max it's ever gotten to is 8GB and below. I've deleted temp files, cache, big apps, disk cleanup, cleared the downloads folder for SoftwareDistribution, etc. What can I do to get back up to the double digits?

hi kevin. would an ideapad 100s, with 32gb emmc, be big enough to handle the windows 10 and its updates. im considering buying one. i seen some vlog saying it wouldnt handle window updates, so im confused. regards

hey can you help so in my pc aps and features take up 288gb of space and i have 497 GB in my pc idk what to do how to clear ir or something.

Thanks a lot, been having issues with my space until now.

Great video Kevin! Thank you so much :)) keep up the good work!! Big Help!!

Thanks Kevin! Very helpful for oldie like me!

Dude still helps like omg it took me forever to get a good video that actually helps me thanks

my “apps and games” section seems to take up 60% of the whole space, but all the apps and games there don’t even add up to the amount it says. are there hidden appa that count towards the number but dont show up there?

I am dealing with a problem where i have activated this setting to help me clean up storage and it for some reason deletes apps/games that i use daily. Is there a way to tell the system what to clean up and what not to?

Storage settings helped me soo much i went from 2 gb left to 140 gb left Thank you soo much this helped me really much
