[dba-Tech] Win10 predownloaded setup almost doubled my system disk used space...

[Salakhetdinov Shamil]

 Helmut --

Thank you I will try to use it - so far I have checked manually using MS Windows Explorer - here are the stats:

---------------------
Total - 238GB
----------------------------
Windows - 48.4GB
Program Files - 53.3GB
Program Files(x86) - 16.1GB
Users - 13.8GB
$Windows.~BT - 6.08GB (what is that was it always there?)
ProgramData - 7.37GB
----------------------------
Total used ~ 140GB
----------------------------
Free - 69.3GB (from windows explorer info)
----------------------------
Lost ~ 30GB It lookls like 30GB are lost somewhere in the hidden areas' files, which are unavailable for Windows Explorer.

>Is there any good utility which can be used to check the system disk to find out what folders are consuming most of the disk space?

>>Hi Shamil
>>
>>That sounds weird. Something is going on.
>>
>>Try to launch the Disk Clean Up and see what it tells. It won't delete anything before you mark and accept.
>>
>>And/or try to see which folder is bloating. Is it the Users' folder or Windows or?
