Missing Gigabyetes
03-12-2021 02:27 AM

I went through my storage and deleted useless files and apps I have no used in a while making a total of over 50 gigabytes of space. Then I proceeded to begin downloading Detroit: Becoming Human from Steam. It was about 13-14 gigabytes into the download when it paused and refused to resume. I restarted my computer and proceeded to find I only at 14 gigabytes worth of space available. I went through my files and found nothing that seemed new and have troubleshooted and restarted several times trying to find the lost space with no success. My recycling bin has already been cleared, and I don't know what else to do, please help!

Also, the community Win10 Forums has the following suggestions:

Finally, there is a freeware app known as Wise Disk Cleaner. I use it every day to get rid of junk files: https://www.wisecleaner.com/wise-disk-cleaner.html
