What Is Taking Up Space On My Hard Drive? (Windows 10)

The first thing you need to do is open up System Settings.

To do this, open up the Start menu in the bottom left corner of your screen, then click on the Settings icon; this looks like a cog or gear.

Alternatively, you can hold down the Start key on your keyboard and press the ‘I’ key to open up the Settings menu, as a shortcut.

In the Setting menu, you’ll be greeted with a selection of different options.

To check your hard drive storage, you need to click on the ‘System’ tab. This opens up the System Settings menu.

Next, you want to locate the ‘Storage’ tab in System Settings.

On the left side of the window, you’ll see a list of different tabs to choose from.

Find ‘Storage’ on this list and left-click to open it.

This will bring up the Storage tab, which contains information about your computer’s disk space.

Here you can find information about how much disk space is left available on your hard drive, as well as what files are using the most space on your computer.

You can check what files and processes are using your hard drive by looking beneath the available disk space.

The most high-use files will be displayed first, but you can see all of the files using your hard drive by clicking on the ‘Show more categories’ option.

This will bring up the usage from all file types on your hard drive, along with how much disk space each file is using.

You also have the option to manage your files and storage space here, but we’ll get to that later.

If you have more than one hard drive or disk (such as an SSD) you can check the storage space of these by going to the ‘More storage settings’ section and selecting ‘View storage on other devices’.

This will take you to a new menu, containing all of the hard drives and disks that manage your computer’s storage.

Clicking on each drive opens up the same information about what’s using its space.

Back in the Storage Settings menu, you can manage the space on your hard drive through the ‘More storage settings’ section.

Here, you can select ‘Manage Storage Spaces’ to sort the files on your hard drive, or ‘Optimize Drives’ to (you guessed it) optimize your disk storage.
