Howdy, basically my SSD storage has 222gb total, right now i have 37.8gb free space, i grabbed the calculator and scanned the drive using disk savvy and came to a total of 66.3gb total being used on that SSD (includes hidden folders). And a few hours ago i had like 120-130gb free space before this issue. So yeah...
What i did before this happened: i was preloading Forza Horizon 5 through microsoft store by mistake into the wrong drive, cancelled it, my request is ignored, i open xbox PC app and i pause the installation there and this time it stopped, but also the installation pretty much got broken and i couldn't do anything with it anymore. So, i restart my pc, open my PC folder to check drive size, it was back to normal for a short moment, xbox app opens after a few seconds and proceeds to automatically install FH5 again, but this time the installation was even more messed up. The game was installing... the game, and then a expansion pack with the same file size as the game. I assume this is the main issue that is causing this SSD issue with missing space.
I managed to stop the installation completly this time around and started a new installation on my HDD, but the SSD issue still persists after having xbox app unninstalled and all games associated with it. The free space on my SSD hardly went up with this, so i am kind of stuck here and have no clue what to do anymore. Been 2-3 hours trying to fix this issue. The SSD is the drive i have windows installed in. Other than this, i usually have smaller software installed here and sometimes 1 demanding game (eg: cp 2077).
Every single time i preload a game through microsoft store or xbox pc app, there is always issues with the installation, it kinda pisses me off that such a big company like this still hasn't fixed core issues with preloading games in windows. This is like the 4th time i have issues with installing stuff through there. 3 times were preloads and this time around it's extremelly broken.
I think the issue is based on that installation resume after my first restart. I assume the installation did not cancel properly, but the files are nowhere to be seen in the drive, either that or the launcher created two installations after the restart, which caused this issue.
Anyone got any tips on how to pin down the problem and potentially correct it?
EDIT: Storage settings/details shows that apps & features occupies 135gb, which is the issue i guess. System & reserved are 40gb, which seems normal to me, everything else combined is like 10gb total, more or less. If i click on apps & features, i can't find the "large file" that is occupying too much space.
EDIT2: If i check properties on the drive, it find a total of 66gb of files in the drive, which adds up to the scans i did earlier but there is something within the drive occupying additional space that i can't find.
