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

[Salakhetdinov Shamil]

 Helmut --

Thank you this utility helped me to find ~20GB - that should be system swap (9GB) and sleep/hibernate - 9GB files. So it looks that after clean-up my system disk is looking rather good here. I will keep monitoring my system disk free space volume.

Thank you.

>>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?
