    Hello,

    An update that was recently installed in your PC, or a malware might be the cause why you are losing space in your Windows 10 PC. To help you resolve this, kindly provide us with more information by answering the questions below.

    • Were there any recent update or program you installed prior to the memory space issue?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps that you have done in an attempt to resolve the issue?

    For case isolation, kindly perform a clean boot. A clean boot is performed to start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This helps eliminate software conflicts that occur when you install a program or an update or when you run
    a program in Windows 10. The steps in performing a clean boot are provided in the article below.
