Trying to do a refresh! not enough room???

You can try to find an app for disk space that will graphically show you your C drive.

You can also manually look. Open This PC on your desktop. Go to C. Then right click on each folder and choose Properties. It will show you how large that folder is. Try to find the folder taking up all the room, the drill down and repeat for the subfolders until you fond it.

This normally won't tell you everything though (hidden files/system files etc.) so can give misreadings.

Are you running 8.1?

If so go to Change PC Settings>Search and apps>App Sizes and check how much space this is showing as available.

And random as it sounds, there's not anything in your recycle bin is there?

3.39gb

Also, just to be sure, under the root drive is there a Windows.old folder?

where is the root drive at?

C:\Windows.old


Empty the Recycle Bin and you are 75% of the way there....

Well there is another 2GB of space, so between the free space, the 3+GB and removing these you should be able to refresh....

while I might be able to do a refresh, this is no longer the problem,.

The problem is.. WHERE IN THE WORLD IS ALL MY SPACE?? I can't have NO files, NO apps, NO NOTHING, and only have 5-6 gigs free..

come on, that's insane !!

Are you syncing your Xbox Music? Look under the public music folder...

 

[fastfed]

not syncing a thing

Instead of a refresh I would do a full reset....
