tswienton Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted May 23, 2018 Moderators Share Posted May 23, 2018 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/ Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data.

Abbazaba Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators mta Posted February 2, 2019 Moderators Share Posted February 2, 2019 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.

Abbazaba Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I see it's back one step in the Analyze process. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
