    Hi Chris,

    I am Dave, I will help you with this.

    Click the link below to download a small free utility named Treesize.

    https://www.jam-software.com/treesize_free

    Very Important - to run TreeSize, you must right click its icon and choose Run as Administrator.

    Please provide a screenshot of your C drive in that TreeSize utility, so I can see your hard drive and work out where that space is being used and if there is an underlying problem.

    I think I understand it now I have 125.9 of program files and 274 of apps and features it adds up 399 GB space which I am looking for sorry about that I will have to figure out what to delete.

    Hi Chris,

    The space calculations on your drive look correct.

    You have a lot of software installed, Program Files and Program Files (x86) use up 211.2GB and the program fata folder uses an extra 40GB

    Windows used approx. 35GB and your user folders use 52GB

    The PageFile (Virtual Memory) uses 29GB and System Restore (System Volume Information) uses 5GB

    Basically it is all the software installed on your PC that is taking up the bulk of the space, I do not see anything wrong with out storage.
