    SSD shows wrong free/used space

    Hello everyone,
    I have an ssd of 500gb and recently I deleted a game, after i deleted it the space on the ssd didnt change at all. (I deleted the game properly)
    To be accurate I have 175gb of stuff on the ssd, but it says that I have 255gb.
    does anybody can explain why and how can I fix it?

    the ssd is Drevo X1 480GB

    Hello Aiden167,

    Give TreeSize (free) a go, see Want to Know Where Your Disk Space Has Gone?

      according to the software I have a folder named “WindowsApps” which is 80gb. this is the folder I probably cannot see because it is kind of blocked.
      anyways everything looks normal, thanks

        That[ICODE]s all the MS stuff like mail and photos etc, you can get access to remove what you don[/ICODE]t use, see info here use the Second Method: Get Access to WindowsApps Folder in Windows 10 Manually and not the registry hack.

        You are welcome
