Windows 10: Low Storage Disk Space diagnostic message problem for all tasks

In HP Pavilion laptop, I have TWO disk drives C and D each 1TB capacity, and an external Seagte Backup Drive F 2TB capacity. I am receiving diagnostic message "Low Disk Space", for all tasks, and messages to delete files to create more storage space, even though Drive D has 980GB space available. In Disk Management Table, Disk D is Disk 0, Disk C is Disk 1, and Disk F is Disk 2. All disks are "online". How can Storage Management be configured to use ONLY Drive D for ALL tasks and not try to look for space in Drive C, which is presumably FULL? Thank you for your answer.

Low Disk space and no storage

Hi Katie,

There are times when your Windows PC will let you know that it's low on disk space to prevent information loss. When your PC doesn't have enough disk space, it will affect the performance of your PC. Please answer these questions so we can isolate the cause
of your concern:

• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• How much disk space is available at this time? Can you provide me a screenshot of the current disk space?
• What is the current OS Build of your PC? Click the Start button, then type
  winver, and then press Enter to verify this information.

article on how to free up more drive space to improve the performance of your computer.

We're looking forward to your reply.

Low Disk Space Message

I am getting a message that I have Low Disk Space on Drive M - but I don't seem to have a Disk M. When I open the "drive" in Explorer, it says there are no files in it. But the properties say it has 39.3 of 449 mb free. The Icon it shows is a standard
disk drive. When I look on the hardware list, the suspect drive shows the name of ST1000DM003-1ER162. The Location shows as Bus Number 0., Target Id 0.LUN0. When I click on the disk cleanup for Drive M, it says I can free up 0 bytes of disk space. It shows
two things - DirectX Shader Cache and Recycle Bin, both with 0 bytes in them.

I'm stumped (and annoyed by constant low disk space messages). Anyone have any idea what Disk M could be and how I can get rid of it?

Thanks.

(Using Windows 10, 64 bit)
