    Hi there,I wonder could someone help me please?!I’m running out of space fast on my C drive due to the following folder being 148 GB in size for some reason - C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Microsoft\OneDrive so just wondering does anyone know why this folder is so big and can I just delete the stuff in here and if I can delete it how do I stop it from filling up again? I don’t have my user account on my laptop linked to OneDrive. Also I know I can’t delete stuff from the WinSxS folder and the Installer folder but they are very large also and I’ve done all of

    Select C:\winddows\SysWow64\cmd. exe

    Ah - I see what you mean. The link was in a more recent post found by searching for
    C:\windows\SysWow64\cmd.exe

    so I assumed it was directly relevant.

    As it suggests, but with a change to use what you are seeing in Win 10:

    What happened before this started happening?
    Did you install or uninstall anything?
    Change anything?
    How long has this been happening?

    If it started recently, do you have a suitable System Restore point you could use?

    Edge Search Does Not Permit Change of Region


    I got these suggestions from the Microsoft Community forum.No. 1 worked for me:

    Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.
    We have reproduce the issue here and we are able to access non-regional search for google using Microsoft Edge.
    I would suggest you to try the below steps and check if it helps.
    Step 1:
    Clear browsing data option of Microsoft Edge and check if you face the issue. To do so perform the steps below.

    1. Click on the More actions icon next to the feedback icon present on top right corner of the Project Spartan homepage.
    2. Select Settings and click on Choose what to clear.
    3. Check the boxes Browsing history, Cookies and saved website data and Cached data and files and click on Clear.
    Step 2:
    I suggest you to create a new user account and check if the issue occurs.

    1. Go to Settings.
    2. Choose Accounts and then select Family and other users.
    3. Select add someone else on this PC.
    4. Enter a user name and hit next.
    5. Click on Finish.
    6. Sign out from the current Account and Log into the new account.
    Step 3:
    It could also happen because of network issue. I suggest you to try with different network connection and check if it helps.
