So what were you trying to do when the "Insufficient space" appeared?

Overall, though...97GB for the OS partition is kinda small.
I certainly wouldn't do that.

thank you for the respond
im not sure when it happened but i guess after i installed multiple games at once...
do you know how much free space do i need to make it dissappear ?
also how much free space for the os partition?

I have no idea why it is saying that.

But for the OS/Application partition?
I wouldn't go much below 250GB.

In reality...I wouldn't split that 1TB drive at all.

i think that the warning shows because the os partition dont have enough space like u said
should i do a clean windows install with no partitions? i will lose all my files

If you're up for a full wipe and reinstall....deleting ALL data across both the C and D partition, sure.
