To delete those temp files, first of all make sure you enable "Hidden files,folders and drives". This thing happened with me too.It was showing 88 GB temp files but when i click on it it was only showing 45 GB when you sum it up. However, its good security practise for each user to have their own temp folder which are located %systemdrive%\users\ | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online %temp% typically points to %systemdrive%\Windows\Temp - which is the default system wide temporary folder. Im not exactly sure what it constitutes as Temporary files, but theres a few places you should check. old folder and I had all my disk space back! NOTE: Disk Cleanup wasn't able to find the Windows.old folder, this is why I had to delete it from the settings app. I then followed this tutorial to remove the. After installing the update the Windows-BT folder disappeared on it's own and a new folder taking up 20GB called Windows.old was created. I decided to check from system updates and surely enough one was downloaded and pending to be installed. What are some things I should look for in there?įINAL UPDATE: After deleting the Windows-BT folder it reappeared a few hours later. The Windows folder shows up as 25GB when in Settings it is only 18GB, this could explain where the other 8GB are coming from. The 5.5GB location was noted as being my pagefile. The Program Files (x86) folder was mainly made up of my Steam games (CS:GO, Besiege, etc). The biggest folder is 87GB of Program Files which mainly consists of my GTA V install.
UPDATE 2: Hi, I downloaded TreeSizeFree and I didn't really find anything there. I am currently downloading TreeSize free to find out where the other 8GB is. I deleted it using TakeOwnerShip pro and this removed around 12GB of temporary files, but 8GB still remain.
UPDATE: After turning on hidden items I found a folder name WINDOWS-BT, after doing some research it turned out to be a folder for the previous windows version. I have tried Disk Cleanup but this removed only around 30MB of files. How can I remove these 20GB of invisible files? I only have a 240GB SSD so space is quite scarce. When I open the temp folder by using Run and then %temp% it only shows around 40-50MB of files right after boot. But when I go to remove them I can only remove about 28MB. I recently discovered that the Settings app is showing around 20GB of space used by temporary files.
