Backup what you want to keep as far as personal files and nuke the drive entirely to set up a nice clean install of 10 now that the upgrade has been activated which will mean reinstalling things all over again but without the clutter! Typically all those other things you may have put on the drive yourself being stored in local folders you created that can run 7, 10, 15, 20gb at times depending on what files you keep on the drive will bring the total up. But this is still the initial upgrade I assume where now you have Windows 10 files being added onto the drive as well as what else you previously were seeing bringing up the total. as well as wallpapers and wav files copied into the Windows\media folder the clean install of the 64bit 10 Pro edition comes out to being about 85gb take or give a few gigs! You can clean up some drive right away using the tool.įor the 32bit flavor of 10 Home however you shouldn't be even close to 85gb if you had just seen a clean install. Presently here with one 10 installation on a second test build taking away the 10.2gb for the $Windows~WS folder and another 19.6gb for a main local storage folder used for keeping updates and small apps, utilities, driver sets, etc. The DiskCleanup tool rather then CCleaner for example is the best move at this time to avoid risk of dumping the wrong temp folders? Sometimes the 3rd party apps will tend to leave temp install folders behind as well.

You will find that in Start>Apps>Windows Administrative> and it will prompt you to check system files as well as personal history which woult tend to include now useless temp folders that have acumilated over time not just from 10 but the previous version.įor manual removal that can be touch and go at times depending if some program installer still has access to any. The first thing I suspect most will advise is running the DiskCleanup tool.
