  1. C Drive showing App installed Valorant but when I go to delete it - PC cant locate it?


    HiI am trying to free up space on my C drive and Valorant appears to take up the most in the storage page 22GB. When I click the uninstall button through the storage page it then says that it cannot locate it to uninstall it? Why is this showing up as taking space if it cant find it? I also cannot see it in the driver Any help appreciated Thanks

    :)

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink C Drive showing App installed Valorant but when I go to delete it - PC cant locate it? ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.

  3. my pc location is showing the wrong location

    I have the same issue. it lists our location at our old house we left 3 months ago.

    it's fine using our phones (which have internal GPS), but all our PC's are showing the wrong location.

    we have 1 on windows 10 and 1 on windows 11, both are wrong.

    they are wrong in edge and chrome.

    they are wrong in the weather apps and anything which uses the location.

    I have followed the common steps of setting the location, of refreshing dns, or ip, I've changed all entries to location I can find.

    even on websites to try to find a local branch, it suggests them near our old house.

    Have just spent an hour on the phone with our ISP (EE) who have nothing more to suggest!

  4. C Drive showing App installed Valorant but when I go to delete it - PC cant locate it?

    Hard Drive Storage

    I have a 500Gb Hard Drive, running Windows 10 Pro version 1909. My c drive is nearly full, I have checked every area on the pc and nothing adds up to the 486Gb I'm supposed to have available. I have gone to Settings > System > Storage - it shows that 401Gb
    is being taken up by Apps and features but when I click on this and show the list of installed apps with their sizes, I have added up the entire list and it comes to 25Gb total. It doesn't show what's eating up the rest of the 400Gb of space. I have deleted
    everything I can and have only been able to free up 11Gb so far so my c drive is still showing red. At this point is the only other step to reload the pc, or does anyone have any suggestions as to what it might be and how to fix?

    Thanks,

    Heather
