Your PC storage is nearly full - how to free up space
Empty your Recycle Bin, delete old Downloads and videos, run Storage Sense cleanup, and uninstall programs you don't use. The Recycle Bin holds gigabytes of deleted files.
Your disk fills up from temporary files, old Windows updates, deleted files still in Recycle Bin, and large videos or games. The fastest fix is emptying Recycle Bin and clearing Downloads folder. Using OneDrive or iCloud to move files to cloud storage is the best long-term solution.
