C drive in windows 10 shows full!
I have cleaned the hard drive, Temp files and hidden files, turned off the protection and I still show the hard drive is full. Does anyone have any other suggestions short of wiping and reimaging.
Hi Mark_Konschak,
You can find folders which use many disk spaces on drive via powershell.
For example:
$targetfolder='C:\'
$dataColl = @()
gci -force $targetfolder -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | ? { $_ -is [io.directoryinfo] } | % {
$len = 0
gci -recurse -force $_.fullname -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | % { $len += $_.length }
$foldername = $_.fullname
$foldersize= '{0:N2}' -f ($len / 1Gb)
$dataObject = New-Object PSObject
Add-Member -inputObject $dataObject -memberType NoteProperty -name “foldername” -value $foldername
Add-Member -inputObject $dataObject -memberType NoteProperty -name “foldersizeGb” -value $foldersize
$dataColl += $dataObject
}
$dataColl | Out-GridView -Title “Size of subdirectories”
