so a while ago I realized I didn't have a lot of space on my 256gb hard drive. I only have about 33 gb free and that's after deleting a couple of things. I got ccleaner, and I used the disk analyzer to see where all my space is being used. It said I had 182gb of space being used to things, but only a couple of gigs where being used on labeled things. 176gb are being used on a label named "other files", but there is no way to select this or anything. I would just want to see this so I could possibly free up some space. -Thanks
Other Files only shows content if you ticked Everything in Categories.
Or you could try a 3rd party program called WizTree from here; https://antibody-software.com/web/software/software/wiztree-finds-the-files-and-folders-using-the-most-disk-space-on-your-hard-drive/
This is also my question, but where do I find Categories? I have over 70% listed as "other files."
Also, thanks for your signature, I just realized I've never backed up this computer!
Thanks!
Catergories is the section group where you tick Everything.
and good job on doing a backup - I would say "it's about time" but it's only too late if you needed one and didn't have one - so well done on dodging that particular bullet.
I see it's back one step in the Analyze process.
Cheers!
Hey there, I tried selectionning all of them but the other files part still doesn't shows-
