595 GB of "Other" storage used.
Hey, guys, I really hope you can help me!
I'm not as computer savvy as I want to be, so I have no idea how to solve this issue.
I'm running Windows 10 on my desktop, which is an HP Pavilion. It's a 1TB model and it had 919 GB available at the start. I've had it for years and the memory has never been an issue. However, my PC notified me that all 919 GB have been used up. I opened up the file explorer to see how much was being used up by each file type and under OTHER, it says there's almost 600GB used up! I opened it and all the folders inside don't add up to 595GB.
I converted some music files to a smaller format and even deleted a LOT of videos I don't plan on watching anymore and it brought it down to roughly 870GB. However, not even a day later, it's already back up to 919GB used! I don't know what to do!
I read that there's a windows.edb file that can be deleted that freed up a lot of space for people, but I don't want to delete anything if I'm unsure of what it will do to the system.
Please help!
