Thank you, this video was very helpful. Started at 15.2MB free of 141GB, now at 64.5GB free of 141GB. Not sure of the math but I am sure it is a lot. I started out with RED all the way across my C: drive and now it is BLUE about half way across. When I opened up my storage, like instructed, my "other" storage was full, blue all the way across. When I clicked on it, it said no information available. So after a couple of attempts it did finally open the file and I saw why it was so full and deleted those files and that cleared out the "other" and gave me the results mentioned above. Thank you

[@nmnovb]

Thanks, Kevin! Very clear explanation and I have already benefited from it; hence, I could clear up the space for a little bit more than 1 GB. However, my huge problem is that I have enormous amount exactly video files which I should not edit to keep their original data. You are mentioning "Cloud" for keeping video files in this tutorial, but I have no idea if it is safe to keep your personal video files in "Cloud". Also, I saw that you use "One Drive" app. Can you also explain if it is safe to use it for strictly personal files and what actually it is used for. Please, help! Rather desperate to keep my second-hand computer in working condition as it is the only one and absolutely unreplaceable due to my personal circumstances of existence.

[@Bl1tzo_slvr]

One drive is safe to use it’s made by Microsoft

[@nmnovb]

@@Bl1tzo_slvr I rather have negative opinion on Microsoft. So the name of the firm by itself doesn't mean safety of its products for me. Quite contrary, in fact. The Microsoft politics is force people and deprived them from choice. Thus, I dream of the appearance of a strong competitor to stop Microsoft to be a monopoly in the field of computer business.

[@Bl1tzo_slvr]

Oh ok

I'm just confused on how my Apps and Features takes up 650GB. Yes, I use my computer for gaming but the largest file under that category is 11GB. Then, four other things in GB. I understand that a very large amount of small files can add up to a lot in the long run. But 650GB? This just makes no sense to me. Edit/Solution: It turns out that in your Apps and Features section of storage, your steam games’ storage use isn’t shown. Almost every steam game was just blank for the storage use, even though they were the main apps that were taking up storage.
