Windows 11 D Drive Space Drops Dramatically After Deleting Game
After emptying the recycle bin to delete a large game folder on Windows 11, my D drive space dropped drastically (from over 100GB to 40GB). Disk check found no errors. What's causing this? Any fixes?...

Run the command `chkdsk D: /f /r` to repair file system errors, and manually delete the `D:\System Volume Information` and `D:\$RECYCLE.BIN` folders to free up hidden space.
