Hi, I got pop up message, LOW DISK SPACE ERROR, So, I checked Support Microsoft, and I got advice as follows:

Reset Microsoft store - setting- system- troubleshoot- other troubleshooters, then, next to window store apps, select RUN.

But it's not working at all. When I click RUN, nothing activates it, it doesn't "Click " at all. I don't see this Click is working.

Hi T Chida

Welcome to the Microsoft Community

Understanding your problem, low disk space, try the following step-by-step solution to free up space and troubleshoot the problem:

________________________________________

Quickly free up temporary space

Clean up temporary files:

Press Win + R and type cleanmgr and enter to select the system disk you need to clean (usually C).

Check “Temporary Files”, “System Error Memory Dump Files”, “Windows Update Cleanup”, etc. Click “OK” to delete them. “Delete.

Use Storage Awareness (Windows 10/11):

Open Settings > System > Storage > Storage Awareness to enable automatic cleaning of temporary files.

Click “Run Storage Awareness Now” to clean them manually.

________________________________________

Finding and deleting large files manually

Find large files through Explorer:

Open File Explorer and go to C drive or other partition.

Enter size:>500MB (to find files larger than 500MB) in the search bar at the top right corner, sort files by size, and delete unwanted large files (e.g. old videos, installers, etc.).

________________________________________

Uninstall unused programs

Open Settings > Apps > Installed apps, sort by size, uninstall software you no longer use (especially games, design tools, etc.).

________________________________________

Clean up system restore points

Press Win + R and type sysdm.cpl and Enter to open System Properties > System Protection.

Select your system disk (e.g. C drive) and click Configure > Delete to clear the old system restore points (just keep the latest ones).

________________________________________

Check for hidden system files

Show hidden files:

Open File Explorer and click View > Show > Hidden Items.

Check the following paths for unusually large files:

C:\Windows\Temp

C:\Users\AppData\Local\Temp

Clean up the contents of these folders manually (avoid deleting files that are in use).

Fix Microsoft Store Troubleshooting Unresponsive Issue

If the Microsoft Store still needs to be fixed:

Manually reset the Microsoft Store:

Open Settings > Apps > Installed apps, find “Microsoft Store”, click the three dots on the right side and select “Advanced Options”.

Click “Terminate” and then select “Reset”.

Reinstall via PowerShell:

Run PowerShell as administrator and type:

Uninstall and reinstall the App Store

Run Windows Powershell as an administrator and enter the following command in the window that opens:

Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore | Remove-AppxPackage

Get-AppxPackage -all *Microsoft.WindowsStore* |% {Add-AppxPackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “\appxmanifest.xml”)}

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers Microsoft.WindowsStore* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\\AppXManifest.xml"}
