C Drive Storage is full without any reason after using and uninstalling Ubuntu and FileZilla.

[Yash_Kumavat]

I am facing C Drive storage issue for few days.

I am facing this issue after downloading Linux Subsystem for Windows. I have also installed Ubuntu and FileZilla for using the Linux. Whenever I use FileZilla, my C Drive gets full so I uninstalled both, Ubuntu and FileZilla, in which Ubuntu was occupying space of about 23 GB.

After uninstalling, the C Drive storage is still full. C Drive storage is keep varying, sometimes it gets fully occupied and sometimes it shows space of about 2GB to 3GB.

Thanks for your fast reply but i resolved it.

Actually, Ubuntu's package folder were not deleted which was holding around 23GB. So after deleting that folder, space has been freed up.
