    Install Treesize free. Use it to look at the partition. It will show you what is using the space.

    +1 for TreeSize Free.

    Remember to run it as an administrator, that way it can see the contents of the System Volume Information folder. Amongst other things, restore points are stored there (and they can be several GB).

    ??? Explain? Are you talking about Storage Spaces? Example/screen shot?

    Okay, I see now. A picture is worth a thousand words they say, and I agree:

    I don't see where that's much different than the older Cleanup system files tool. More wordy. I'll try it next update and see how it goes.

    Thanks
