  1. Why is my storage so full and I can’t see why it’s so full?


    My computer has 400 gigs of basic storage. And when I check it says my storage is completely full staying downloaded apps take up most of it but when I check the apps that stuff only accounts for like 50-100 gigs. And my computer is running super slow now. And nothing is working well! I need help and I don’t know what to do, I’ve followed all the online tutorials and everything!

    :)

    Why is my storage so full and I can’t see why it’s so full?

    Windows 10 Home will not boot or restart with USB Storage Spaces pool drives attached

    Hi George,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern and will assist you to resolve this issue.


    • Did you make any changes in BIOS?

    • Are you getting any error message?
    I suggest you to update Storage controller drivers and check if it helps.

    Steps 1:


    • Press Windows key + X.

    • Select Device manager.

    • Expand Storage controller.

    • Right click on the driver and Update the drivers.


    Steps 2: Windows 10 has a built-in troubleshooter to check and fix issues with hardware and devices. I would suggest you to run this troubleshooter to check if the issue
    is with device. Refer these steps:


    • Press Windows key +X, select Control panel.

    • Change the view by option on the top right to Large icons.

    • Click on troubleshooting and click on the view all option on the left panel.

    • Run the Hardware and devices troubleshooter.


    Hope this helps. If the issue remains unresolved, please get back to us and we would be happy to help
