After updating Win-10/11 no space on the disk, what now?


After one of the big auto-updates of Windows 10 or 11, it can get tight on the hard drive.



If you want space freed up by Windows 10 / 11 Auto Updates, you can start Disk Cleanup in Windows 10 and 11, usually you do not need to buy a new hard disk.

Just start Disk Cleanup to make room on the Windows 10 or 11 system drive.

Just start the MS Explorer, shortcut Windows + E and the Windows 10 / 11 drive, in this case it will mark the drive C:\, manage tab and just clean up.

It may take some time to calculate the space to free up, especially if the Defender is running and Windows 10 is not installed on a SSD hard drive.

In this case, it was almost 19 GB (... see Image-4), now you have space on the system drive C:\! 

This can be done as needed after every major Windows 10 auto update, but wait and see, sometimes you have to reset the Windows 10 update.
